It is an eight-kilometre marathon aimed at enlightening the society on the widely unspoken disorder of dyslexia. in association with Madras Dyslexia Association(MDA). This is the second edition of the marathon. We started last year and spread awareness about Down Syndrome in association with Down Syndrome Federation of India. Born out of meticulous planning, this annual marathon event aims to raise awareness and support unique disorders in the society.
Why did you plan to start a run for social cause?
The Naval wing of the National Cadet Corps, Anna University was started in the year 1964. Besides building comradeship, character and discipline, it inculcates the ideals of selfless service among the cadets.

For our annual marathon we decided to raise awareness about unique disorders.
