Karnataka - Bangalore   

Running for a noble cause

THE FREEDOM Run, organised by Titan for the second year now, will be a mini marathon over a thousand employees from the company running the 10-km stretch from their Hosur township to the watch plant.

Contestants have to complete the distance in less than two hours, and for each participant who does, the company will donate Rs. 500 to an organisation working for underprivileged children. Last year the run followed the route from Richmond Road to NAL Grounds on Airport Road.

What is encouraging is that people are willing to take up the challenge on a holiday to help underprivileged children.
