Skechers to host fifth edition of Mumbai walkathon

Leading American performance and lifestyle footwear brand, Skechers will host the fifth edition of the Skechers Mumbai Walkathon at InOrbit Mall, Malad. The event highlights the Skechers GO WALK® product category, featuring footwear designed specifically for walking.

Registrations for the Walkathon are now open and will remain available until 8th November 2024 at [www.skecherswalkathon.in](http://www.skecherswalkathon.in). This year, Skechers continues its collaboration with GoSports Foundation, contributing a portion of the registration fees to support Indian athletes through the foundation’s Long-Term Athlete Development Programme.

The event aims to build on the success of previous editions, including last year’s Walkathon, which attracted over 8,000 participants. It serves as a significant event for fitness enthusiasts nationwide, promoting an active lifestyle and contributing to India’s growing sports culture.

Rahul Vira, CEO of Skechers South Asia Pvt. Ltd., stated, “Last year’s Walkathon demonstrated the remarkable impact Skechers can have on promoting an active lifestyle and supporting young athletes, as we saw significant community engagement and substantial contributions towards the development of India’s future sports stars. The Skechers Mumbai Walkathon has evolved into a highly anticipated fitness event in the city.”

Deepthi Bopaiah, CEO of GoSports Foundation, commented, “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Skechers. Their support has been instrumental to the overall success of the GoSports Long-Term Athlete Development Programme (GLTADP). The CSR funds from Skechers have supported the athletes across 10 sports and facilitated various aspects of the programme, including athlete development initiatives, competition support, and overall programme enhancements. Additionally, their contributions have enabled specific interventions across our organization. The donation from this year’s Walkathon will ensure our athletes receive sustained support at multiple sports platforms.”

The Walkathon will feature multiple walking categories, including a 10 km walk for avid walkers, a 5 km walk for those looking to take up walking as a sport, and a 3 km fun walk. These categories cater to participants of various fitness levels, providing an enjoyable walking experience around the scenic route of InOrbit Mall, Malad.
