Kathmandu to Host 'Kathmandu Pink Careathon' on March 14 to Promote Women's Health and Fitness

The 'Kathmandu Pink Careathon' is scheduled to be held in Kathmandu on Falgun 30 (March 14) with the objective of raising awareness about women's health and fitness.

Organized by Laser Port Nepal, this event aims to inspire women to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

According to the organizers, the Careathon will feature women's running, Zumba, and other health-promoting activities, open to women of all age groups. The main goal of the program, as stated by Namraj Joshi, Chairman of the organizing body, is to encourage women, who are often busy with household chores and daily responsibilities, to take time out for their health.

'Women are always working for their families and society but do not get time to focus on their health. The Pink Careathon will motivate them to take time for themselves,' said Joshi.

This year's event is estimated to have around 2,500 to 3,000 female participants. Popular artist Usha Rajak has been appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for the event, whose presence is expected to add further energy to the program.

This event, previously known as the 'Kathmandu Pinkathon,' was renamed 'Kathmandu Pink Careathon' starting last year.

 This program, which was regularly organized from 2017 to 2019, was paused for some time due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other reasons. After successfully resuming in 2024, the program is being continued this year following its success.
