Kozhikode, September 20, 2026: The spirit of health, fitness and community came alive at Kozhikode Beach as thousands of people came together for the Walkaroo Kozhikode Walkathon 2026. Held on September 20 at Calicut Beach Freedom Square, the event brought people from across the city together through 5K and 10K walking events.
As a co-sponsor of the Walkathon, NURA joined the community in promoting the importance of an active lifestyle and a healthier future. For us, the event was more than a walk. It was an opportunity to come together with the people of Kozhikode and celebrate the role that movement, fitness and preventive health can play in everyday life.
Walking Together for Better Health
The Walkaroo Kozhikode Walkathon 2026 created a vibrant atmosphere at Kozhikode Beach, with participants coming together to take part in the 5K and 10K events. From fitness enthusiasts to families and community members, the walk reflected the city’s enthusiasm for staying active and coming together for a shared purpose.
At NURA, we believe that preventive health begins with paying attention to everyday wellbeing. Physical activity is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and community events like the Walkathon provide an opportunity to make movement a shared experience.
NURA Joins the Walkathon Alongside a Strong Community of Partners
Leading Team NURA at the Walkathon was Masaharu Morita, Founder & Program Director, NURA, who joined the NURA team and participants from across Kozhikode for the 5K and 10K events. As the co-powered sponsor, we were proud to be part of an event built around fitness, community and better health.
The Walkathon brought together several partners who contributed to making the event a meaningful community initiative. Walkaroo served as the title sponsor, while Malayala Manorama provided principal support. Meitra Hospital joined as the special partner, bringing its healthcare perspective to the event.
For us at NURA, being part of this collective effort was an opportunity to connect with the people of Kozhikode and reinforce our commitment to a more proactive approach to health. The Walkathon brought together organisations and individuals with a shared focus on encouraging active lifestyles and creating a healthier community.
More Than the Miles
The Walkathon brought together people with a common goal: to stay active, connect with the community and take steps towards better health.
For NURA, being part of this experience was also about celebrating the simple things that make a community stronger: walking together, encouraging one another and sharing moments of joy along the way.
The energy at Kozhikode Beach was a reminder that health can be a collective journey. Every step taken, every conversation shared, and every smile along the way contributed to the spirit of the event.
Thank You, Kozhikode
We are grateful to everyone who joined the Walkaroo Kozhikode Walkathon 2026 and made the event memorable. Thank you, Kozhikode, for every step, every smile and every moment shared with us.
