Bengaluru, May 21, 2025 — In a first for the city, Bengaluru will host the IronKids race on June 1 at Indian Mall, Thanisandra Main Road, introducing young athletes to the thrill of competitive running. The event, part of the globally acclaimed Ironman triathlon series, is designed to encourage children to step away from digital screens and embrace an active lifestyle.
Targeting children aged 6 to 16, the race aims to foster confidence, fitness, and camaraderie through age-appropriate running challenges. With registrations now open, parents and young runners are gearing up for an exciting day of sports and achievement.

-
Category C (13-16 years): 3 km run
Every participant will receive a certificate and a medal, ensuring a rewarding experience for all.
Young Runners Eager to Take On the Challenge
Several children have already signed up, expressing enthusiasm for the event.
Kavya Chaubey, 7, who previously participated in an IronKids race in Malaysia, shared her excitement:
“The IronKids event in Bengaluru is not just about running—it’s about joy, building confidence, and having fun with friends. Several of my cousins and friends are also joining, which makes it even more exciting!”
Another participant, Sunaina Venkateshwaran, 10, added:
“If you’re looking to try something new in running, this is the perfect opportunity.”
A Step Towards Nationwide Youth Fitness Movement
