Chennai, Run To Spread Awareness About Alzheimer’s With The Forum Purple Run

If you are a runner or always wanted to run for a cause, then we’ve got the right run for you -- The Forum Purple Run, on 28 September. The 5KM run is an initiative by Forum to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and if you are wondering why the run is called the Purple Run, it’s because purple is the colour associated with Alzheimer’s. The run is also to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s so that everyone can detect the early symptoms and find the right treatment. Of course, apart from creating awareness and sensitivity to the cause, the fun run is open to anyone, so gather your family and friends, and make sure that everyone runs for this cause, starting at Olcott Memorial High School. Make sure you register fast if you haven’t already, as the last date for registration is Wednesday, September 25.

The 5KM run will happen at Olcott Memorial High School, Besant Nagar, where Besant Gardens is located.

The registration fee is inclusive of your running bibs, a Purple Run branded t-shirt, a medal, and food & beverage coupons. Also, please note that the reporting time is at 4:30 am, so be sure to be there all bright and fresh. For kids below the age of 12 and adults above the age of 55, registration is free and every participant must collect their bibs at the Forum Vijaya Mall, Chennai.
