Footprints is an annual 5K and 10K run held by the RISHI Foundation since 2022. It echoes the spirit of Rishi, an athlete who loved running and believed in the transformative power of selfless acts.
The aim is to raise awareness about the needs of orphans and disadvantaged children, connect people together, and foster a sense of community where giving and running can be transformative. Funds raised go to the Positive Running Program, which empowers children and youth by using running as a catalyst to harness their physical and mental abilities.
Footprints returns for 2026!
