Mangaluru, Aug 11: 'Choose Passion, Not Poison' — with this powerful message, Aftermiles Run Club brought together 250+ participants in Mangaluru for a unique fitness, networking and community-building experience.

The event aimed to encourage youngsters to move away from unhealthy addictions and instead choose fitness, passion, music, friendship and positive experiences. With a sunrise run, fitness activities, music, games and networking, the event created an energetic atmosphere where people could connect, have fun and enjoy the same vibe.

The initiative was led by Ayaan Rana and Sahil Sulaiman, the young heads behind Aftermiles Run Club. Ayaan Rana, despite being very young, has already been actively involved in organising and building initiatives like this, making his efforts especially commendable. His passion for bringing young people together and creating positive experiences at such a young age has been widely appreciated.

Aftermiles is more than just a run club — it aims to create a community where young people can connect, stay active and choose passion over negative habits. The initiative marks a fresh and promising approach to building a stronger fitness and youth culture in Mangaluru.
