“1.25 million kilometers contributed, 1.25 million Poshan Packs provided. Every stride in VDHM 2025 was a step toward health, hope, and a brighter future.”
On October 12, 2025 the much awaited Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon concluded with Cairn contributing more than 20% of overall VDHM target of contributing 5 million Poshan Packs.
It was a simple idea: lace up, log in, and move together. This has now become something extraordinary. Over the course of 2 months, Virtual Marathons brought employees, business partners, families, and community members together. Across sites, our employees, business partners, along with community members, took part, showcasing teamwork and the power of ‘We.’
East Coast: Taking the First Lap
The East Coast kicked off VDHM 2025 with a bang. Registration counters across offices and plant sites became hubs of energy, with employees joining fitness challenges, cheered on by leadership. The momentum continued at KIMS Hospital, where doctors, nurses, and visitors joined in enthusiastically.
Ravva Beach: Where Sand Met Spirit
As the sun rose over Ravva Beach, runners gathered at the Living Quarters for a scenic marathon blending physical participation with virtual connection. Some ran along the shore, others joined via fitness apps. Hydration points, safety protocols, and a virtual celebration brought everyone together.
RJ North: Moving Beyond the Office
The RJ North team kicked off VDHM with a strong start, driving high engagement through a well-structured registration process. The focus here had shifted from sign-ups to shared experiences, with Barmer picnics, team treks, and walkathons at Bhagyam and partner sites. The activities brought employees together, helping them unwind, connect with nature, and celebrate fitness.
West Coast: Fitness Meets Fun
Wellness on the West Coast came alive through colors, competition, and community spirit. On the badminton courts, 27 players battled it out, covering 36 km.
At Suvali Beach, 53 participants, including business partners, turned a high-energy cricket match into a fitness celebration, logging 1,09,460 steps. The night ended with 67 participants swirling through Garba at Suvali Plant, collectively dancing 2,01,000 steps.
These moments proved that wellness can be woven into culture, play, and passion, turning healthy habits into fun.
Running with Purpose: #RunForZeroHunger
Through Nand Ghar, every kilometer we contributed, Vedanta will provide Poshan Packs for children, supporting their nutrition, education, and growth.
From East to West, across hospitals, beaches, factories, and homes, the Virtual Marathon emphasised participation, teamwork, and shared purpose over finishing first. Employees, families, and community members came together to celebrate wellness, unity, and engagement. Every runner, cheerleader, and volunteer helped make the event more than a race, a true celebration of connection in motion.
