The Hexaware Dream Runners Half Marathon (DRHM) is scheduled for July 19, 2026, marking its return with registration now open. Hexaware Technologies continues its sponsorship for the seventh consecutive year, emphasizing a commitment to health and community support.
The event aims to make fitness accessible through free, structured training programs available in 14 chapters across Chennai, guided by health experts. Runners can choose between 21.1K and 10K race categories, catering to various experience levels.
This year's marathon will channel its proceeds to three Chennai-based non-governmental organizations. These include FREEDOM Trust for prosthetic limb distribution, International Foundation for Crime Prevention and Victim Care (PCVC) to assist female survivors of domestic violence, and Vijay Human Services for financial aid to individuals with intellectual disabilities.
In the previous year, the DRHM saw almost 7,000 participants and successfully raised over INR 45,00,000 for social welfare initiatives. Organizers are encouraging the community to come together once again to support these vital causes.
