Preemithon Bhubaneswar: Run with Pride, Run with Purpose
In the sacred land of Odisha, where the sun rises over ancient temples and the spirit of resilience runs deep in every heartbeat, a powerful movement is set to take shape. AAYU Foundation presents Preemithon – Bhubaneswar Edition, a community marathon driven by passion, purpose, and people.
This isn’t just an event — it’s a movement of the masses, a vibrant symbol of what’s possible when communities come together to support each other, to stand up for meaningful causes, and to move — physically and emotionally — toward a better tomorrow.
Dutee Chand: A Dream that Runs Free
This year, Preemithon Bhubaneswar is honored by the presence of Dutee Chand, India’s iconic sprinter whose story continues to inspire millions. Her journey from the quiet lanes of Chaka Gopalpur village in Odisha to the fast tracks of global championships is one of defying odds, breaking barriers, and running with heart.
Dutee represents everything Preemithon embodies — courage, inclusivity, and the power of belief. Her participation is not only a moment of pride for Odisha, but also a powerful message to every young girl, every dreamer, and every runner that limitations exist only in the mind.
Every Step with a Story
Each runner at Preemithon Bhubaneswar carries more than just a bib number — they carry a story, a hope, a reason. Some run for loved ones lost to preventable diseases. Some run for better education in their villages. Some run simply to say, “We care.”
Children will run alongside parents. Youth will run with mentors. Elderly citizens will walk hand-in-hand with volunteers. It’s this intergenerational, inclusive energy that transforms Preemithon from a marathon into a celebration of community.
An Experience Beyond Running
The event isn’t limited to the tracks. Alongside the race, Preemithon will host:
- Health Camps providing free check-ups, screenings, and wellness advice.
- Mental Health Corners with counselors and awareness talks for youth.
- Fitness Zones with yoga, physiotherapy guidance, and nutritional tips.
- Cultural Performances showcasing Odisha’s rich traditions and youthful talent.
- Green Initiatives promoting sustainability, waste reduction, and clean community drives.
These experiences ensure that every participant leaves healthier, happier, and more hopeful.
