Let’s come together for Miles4Meals, a social impact initiative organised by IIIT Bangalore in collaboration with The Akshaya Patra Foundation. Your participation in the marathon on 5 April 2026 will not only boost your health but also that of the children studying in government schools. These children are budding achievers who currently need nutritional support to pursue their dreams.
Akshaya Patra currently serves 2.35 million of these children in 23,000+ schools across 78 locations in 16 states and three union territories. The mid-day meals you will contribute through your participation incentivise children to come to school, concentrate on academic and extracurricular activities, as well as explore their potential in pursuit of a better future.
Miles4Meals, launched in 2023, is now an annual event. It symbolises our collective commitment to making a transformative, lasting impact in the lives of the vulnerable. The first marathon, organised in partnership with CGI and ELCIA in Electronic City, nourished around 5,500 schoolchildren. The day was highlighted by hundreds of like-minded people uniting in the spirit of philanthropy, wellness and doing their bit to make the world a better place.
Let’s unite once again at Miles4Meals and create a greater impact this year. Experience a fun-filled day and take home the fulfilment of supporting a cause. Register now at Marathon.iiitb.net
