Nagpur City Police will organise the second edition of ‘Tiger Run – Run From Drugs, Run for Life’ on January 25 with the aim of spreading awareness about the harmful effects of drug abuse and promoting a healthy lifestyle among citizens.
The run will begin from the Police Headquarters premises. Addressing a press conference at Police Bhavan on Saturday, Police Commissioner Dr Ravinder Kumar Singal said that following the overwhelming response to the inaugural edition, this year’s Tiger Run is expected to be on a much larger scale.
“Last year, nearly 15,000 citizens participated. This year, we are expecting more than 20,000 participants to join the movement for good health and a drug-free society,” he said.
The event will feature four race categories — 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, and a 21 km half marathon. The half marathon will flag off at 5.30 am, followed by the 10 km run at 5.45 am, the 5 km run at 6.15 am, and the 3 km run at 6.45 am.
Dr Singal informed that winners across categories will receive a total cash prize of Rs 8.38 lakh. He also unveiled the official T-shirt and medal for the event during the press conference.
