Simple Steps Children's Run - Pune (Edition 11)

Simple Steps Children's Run - Pune (Edition 11)

Simple Steps was created to raise awareness for fitness among children. Before 2015, no runs were organized exclusively for children. With this idea in mind, the first Run for Children was organized in November 2015 in Pune to celebrate Children’s Day. Running is a simple exercise that encourages children to participate in sports. It strengthens bones, muscles, and tendons; helps improve coordination; is good for the cardiovascular system; and is a fun activity. After successfully completing 10 editions in Pune, this will be the 11th Edition in Pune on Sunday, 29th Nov 2026.
