HRX, a home-grown fitness brand co-owned by Hrithik Roshan and Exceed Entertainment, has announced the inaugural HRX Half-Marathon, scheduled to take place on March 5th, Sunday, at MMRDA, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai.

The event is supported by HRX’s partners, including Myntra, Cult, Noise, Enerzal, GNC, Lupin, and GoPromoto, among others. The organisers, in a statement, said that each participant will receive a HRX Marathon Jersey, a participation medal and certificate, healthy refreshments, breakfast, and a string bag.

HRX anticipates a significant community of runners across all age groups, covering distances of 5K, 10K, and 21K, as per their preference. For those who cannot attend in person, there is also an opportunity to participate virtually.
“We owe our running community this event and the podium to go all out and celebrate their love for training and running. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds and becomes bigger year on year. So, I would personally call upon all the runners and enthusiasts to participate and celebrate our inert strength and endurance through the HRX half marathon race.” Hrithik Roshan, founder, HRX said.
Pallavi Barman, business head, HRX, said, “With this, we would like to encourage everyone above the age of 10 years to come forward and participate in the 5km category, 15 years+ for the 10km category and 18 years+ for the 21km category to become active members of the HRX community and join hands with us in this long-standing partnership henceforth”
