Over 100 students from St. Xavier's College joined a 5 km charity run at Worli Promenade in partnership with CPAA and Bombay Running, raising awareness and support for cancer patients ahead of Malhar 2026.

Students of St. Xavier’s College took part in a special charity run along the Worli promenade, as Malhar, the college’s annual cultural festival, partnered with the Cancer Patient Aid Association (CPAA) and Bombay Running for the initiative.

The 5-kilometre run began at 7:30 am and drew a large turnout of students, faculty and members of Mumbai’s running community, all coming together for a morning centred on health, unity and giving back.

With a turnout of over a 100 students, the run was organised to raise awareness and support for cancer patients across the city, with all the proceeds from the event going directly towards CPAA’s ongoing work. The college also arranged hydration stations along the route to keep runners fuelled throughout the distance.

As the run wrapped up, the energy carried straight into a lineup of sports and games from 9 am, with tug of war, football and volleyball drawing enthusiastic participation from students across departments.
