The fourth edition of the Granules Green Heartfulness Run (GGHR 2025) and Plantation Week was announced today at a press conference in Hyderabad. This year’s theme — “A Movement Beyond Miles” — highlights how fitness and environmental action can go hand in hand.
The event will take place on 16 November 2025, while Plantation Week will be held from 9 to 15 November 2025. Organized by Forests by Heartfulness, the goal is to plant 10,000 trees across India and inspire more people to live sustainably.
A Run That Gives Back to Nature
The Granules Green Heartfulness Run isn’t just another marathon. It’s a mission that blends health, community, and sustainability.
Over the years, the event has reached 80 cities, engaged 88,000 runners, and helped plant 22,000 trees.
This year, runners can take part in the “Gift-a-Tree” initiative and geo-tag 8,000 trees. Through this, each participant can monitor their sapling and contribute to long-term environmental care.
In addition, the event welcomes both on-ground and virtual participants, including runners from the United States. Eco-friendly medals and T-shirts were unveiled during the announcement, symbolizing the event’s commitment to sustainability.
