THE HEART & SOLE RUN 8 (HSR 8) – EVENT DESCRIPTION

Heart & Sole Run (HSR) is the flagship charity marathon organized annually by the Rotaract Club of Fr. CRCE. Over the years, HSR has grown into one of Mumbai’s most impactful student-led fitness events, bringing together runners of all ages for a purpose-driven cause.
The run supports Father Agnel Ashram, an institution dedicated to the welfare of underprivileged children by providing them with education, shelter, healthcare, and overall development.
