After a hiatus of three years, we are ready to begin the journey to achieve greater heights!

We are proud to announce that the 7th edition of the Tata Steel Kolkata 25K, the only World Athletics Elite Label Road Race over 25K, was officially launched on 24th September 2022. Since its inception, the event has raised a total of INR 4.01 Cr for 75+ NGOs. The 2019 edition saw a total of 15,318 participants who participated across five race categories. The philanthropy drive continued to grow from previous editions, with 35 NGOs cumulatively raising INR 98.41 lakhs for multiple causes. We doff our hats to the remarkable efforts made by NGOs and individuals to raise funds for the causes they believe in.

We are delighted to inform you that United Way Kolkata is the Event’s new Philanthropy Partner, starting from the 2022 edition. United Way Kolkata will carry the legacy forward and enable the social sector to achieve greater heights.
