Jamshedpur, November 23, 2020

Tata Steel organised the first-ever Virtual Run on November 22, 2020. 2439 participants took part in this unique run across India. The event was organised under three categories: 5K for boys and girls of 12-16 years, and 7K and 10 K for men and women of 16 years & above.

It was an eventful day for the children from Masti Ki Pathsahala - Tata Steel's Residential Bridge Course (RBC) for all-round development of underprivileged children in Jamshedpur, as they also participated in the run for the first time with great enthusiasm and interest. The participation of the children was sponsored by four local business groups from Jamshedpur.

To ensure a greener tomorrow and keeping up the commitment, Tata Steel will be planting saplings equal to the number of participants for the run. To this effect, a mass plantation drive was organised by the Corporate Administration department of Tata Steel at Khutadih, near the Sonari Airport on November 22. Mr Chanakya Chaudhary, Vice President, Corporate Services, Tata Steel, executives of Tata Steel, and residents from nearby community participated in the plantation drive. In the first-phase, 570 saplings were planted during the programme for the participants. The remaining 1,869 saplings will be planted through further plantation drives across Jamshedpur.

Tata Steel Virtual Run was managed by Striders (the event partner) - a fitness training group that designs and organises fitness-specific training programmes and conducts various run events through-out the year, and sponsored by Brooks, the popular running shoe brand of the world, who designs and markets running-specific performance footwear, apparel and accessories worldwide.
