Running for Change, Year after Year.
Since its inaugural run in 2010, the Calicut Half Marathon has been more than just a race. Organized entirely by the passionate students of IIM Kozhikode, it has brought together people from all walks of life, united by a commitment to make a difference. Each year, we run not just for fitness or fun but for a cause that matters, raising awareness and inspiring action. Here’s a look back at our most memorable milestones over the years.
