World Punjabi Organization is a global entity with chapters spanning over 20 countries. Complementing this noble endeavour, the SUN Foundation, established in the same year, has been tirelessly working towards the uplift and empowerment for the underprivileged, through various social welfare initiatives towards free skilling and job placement assistance for youth, Drug de-addiction and rehabilitation and rescue and rehabilitation after repatriation of Punjabis across border to name a few.
The ‘SuperSikh Vaisakhi 5K RUN’ seeks to commemorate the spirit of Vaisakhi while championing the causes of ‘SAY NO TO DRUGS’ and ‘FIT INDIA’.
Last year’s marathon witnessed a phenomenal response, with over 2000 marathoners participating. The event was further ennobled by the flag-off ceremony conducted by none other than Mr. Fauja Singh BEM. This year, we aim to surpass the success of the previous event and make it an even more vibrant celebration of community and wellness.
The SUPERSIKH VAISAKHI 5K RUN is already off to a roaring start with a substantial number of registrations pouring in from enthusiasts across India. Participants from all walks of life are eagerly lacing up their running shoes, and signing up for what promises to be a memorable experience. Registration is still open for those who wish to join this vibrant celebration of culture and fitness.
“AIPL is proud to collaborate with WPO and Sun Foundation to bring the SUPERSIKH VAISAKHI 5K RUN to the heart of Delhi.
