The AIDS Charity Run (ACR) was introduced for the first time, as part of the 19th Pune International Marathon and was a great hit! The purpose of the ACR is to involve citizens in participating for a cause that of spreading the message of HIV/ AIDS awareness. Participants also get a taste of the historic Marathon. Many prominent citizens and celebrities from all walks of life participate in the ACR.

The ACR is also a fun event and group participation is encouraged. It presents a wonderful opportunity for like minded people, friends and corporate houses to make their presence felt by sporting coordinated T-shirts, wearing the AIDS ribbon, beating drums; carrying placards with innovative slogans suitable to the occasion & its cause or highlighting of the strengths of our city. This is a great opportunity to promote teamwork and demonstrate social responsibility by supporting the cause and show that you really care.

There are prizes for best creative group attire, best individual attire, creation of theme related to the cause, best slogan & largest group.

The entire collection from the sale of entry forms of the AIDS Charity Run will be donated to PROJECT CONCERN INTERNATIONAL, which is working relentlessly in Pune towards HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention. Participants are more than welcome to contribute any amount that they feel is appropriate towards the cause.

This is an opportunity for all of us to step out of the routine, wear our heart on our sleeve, for a good cause, our love for Pune and as a celebration of life!
