Sudha Reddy Foundation and MEIL Foundation on Monday announced the third edition of the Pink Power Run, with organizers expecting over 20,000 participants for the event to be held on September 27 at People’s Plaza, Necklace Road, Hyderabad.

The run will include four race categories, 3km, 5km, 10km and the official 21.097km Half Marathon, which will be certified by the Association of International Marathon and Distance Races (AIMS). The event will carry a total prize pool of ₹75,000, with over 100 winners expected to benefit.

Sudha Reddy, chairman of Sudha Reddy Foundation and director of MEIL, said that the run started as a small dream which has now taken shape and reached its third successful year.

Pragnya Chigurupati, breast oncologist, AIG Hospitals, said the initiative is particularly important given the changing trends of breast cancer in the state. “Telangana currently ranks highest for breast cancer in women and more in younger women, which could be you or me,” she added.

Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chuangsri said she was grateful to be invited back for a cause that is important to her. She recalled participating in the Pink Power Run activity in Vietnam during the Miss World Festival where the initiative was taken outside India.
