Their recent weekly community run drew keen runners and fitness enthusiasts from all walks of life, including students, doctors, teachers and office-goers, to Sarojini Naidu Park in Hazratganj. The event kicked off with a warm-up session, where women held planks while men did push-ups, setting the tone for the loop run through the heart of the city. After the run, participants headed to a nearby social club for the post-run hangout called ‘Afters’, where they shared conversations about health, well-being and everyday life.

Talking about the initiative, Pratham, said,“Runspark isn’t just about running, it’s about building a community of runners. A space where Lucknowites can not only run but can make friends and socialise together.”— Amina Ashraf
