About the project
Building Healthier, Fitter and More Resilient Communities Through Sports
CSR Times, in association with First Step Foundation, presents the CSR Marathon, a grassroots sports and fitness initiative envisioned to promote healthy lifestyles, youth development, and community participation across Uttarakhand.
The initiative aims to bring together school students, young athletes, village communities, and fitness enthusiasts through organised 3K, 5K, and 10K running events, creating accessible opportunities for people of all age groups to participate in sports and physical activities.
Beyond the marathon, the programme integrates fitnesstraining, nutrition awareness, preventive healthcare, sports mentorship, and talent identification to encourage sustainable fitness habits and create pathways for promising young athletes. Special emphasis will be placed on the participation of girls and women, government school students, and underserved communities.
The initiative will also celebrate Uttarakhand’s rich cultural heritage by providing a platform for local artists, folk performers, and community groups while generating opportunities for local businesses and livelihoods.
With a vision to eventually tap into all major districts of Uttrakhand, CSR Marathon seeks to build a sustainable grassroots sporting ecosystem rooted in Community, Sustainability, and Resilience.
Partnership Opportunity
CSR Times invites corporates, CSR foundations, government institutions, and sporting organisations to join this movement and contribute towards building healthier, fitter, and more resilient communities through sports, fitness, and collective participation.
