The Run was aimed at promoting physical activity and fostering good dietary habits for a healthier future.

The Aptivate Champion Run, a special event for kids and parents, witnessed an enthusiastic participation of over 4000 Mumbaikars, together raising awareness of the importance of physical activity and a healthy appetite for the well-being of children. The run was flagged off by Nilesh D. Gupta, Managing Director, Lupin, along with Mandira Bedi, Actress, Mother and fitness enthusiast, who actively supported the cause.
