The third season of Outride Hunger, Akshaya Patra’s annual biking rally which aims to spread awareness about classroom hunger, took off on March 19, 2017 (Sunday) with hundreds of bikers riding for a cause. The enthusiastic bikers assembled at Akshaya Patra campus in Hyderabad to show their support through their passion – to ride. They covered a distance of 33 kilometres starting from Akshaya Patra’s Banjara Hills campus, cruising through well-known areas of the city, like the Necklace Road, HITEC City to reach the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium where the event concluded.
