walkathon

event organised by Skechers witnessed more than 6,500 enthusiastic participants under three categories 8 km, 5 km, and 3 km. To add a dose of fun and energy to the event, were

singers

and performers like choreographer Melvin Louis, singer Anushka Manchanda, model Urvi Shetty and a bunch of other

celebrity

influencers such as Rohan Hingorani, Sanaya Pithawalla, Void, Nagma Mirajkar and Awez Darbar.
Commenting on the initiative, Rahul Vira, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Post the triumph of the first edition which exceeded our expectations we were thrilled to see the success of the 2nd edition of this walkathon, which is even bigger. Walking, for the longest time has been the most underrated form of physical activity. This is the reason why we took up the challenge to spread awareness among people of all age groups about the benefits of walking. One of the easiest ways to get ourselves started with the habit of

walking

is a pair of good comfortable walking shoes. Our focus is not only on professional athletes but beginners as well and we aim to encourage more and more people to stay healthy and fit by walking every day.”
Tapsee Pannu, Bollywood Actress said, “I am delighted to be associated for the 2nd edition of the Performance Mumbai Walkathon. I really appreciate the initiative taken to educate people about the importance of walking and incorporating the idea of staying fit in their day-to-day activities. I personally love walking and exercising as my profession demands me to be fit and healthy all the time.”
