ABOUT US
Ballari Cyclists & Runners Foundation® (BCRF) was incorporated to organize and spread health and wellness programs. BCRF is managed by well-known Doctors, Educationists, Architects and Business professionals of Ballari city and people from various other walks of life, representing a cross-section of the society.
To lead by example, the members have actively participated in various competitions such as TATA Mumbai Marathon, Bangalore Marathon, Goa marathon, TCS World 10K events, and so on. Few members are even part of the Guinness book of world record for the longest line of moving bi-cycles event held in Hubballi.
The group organizes weekend runs, cycling events and fitness sessions in Ballari every week. In addition to the above various awareness sessions on health and fitness are also held.
The foundation has many times collaborated with the district administration and has held several awareness rallies related to environment, cleanliness, and wellness.
With the aim to promote health and fitness among the general public, BCRF has taken up the task of organizing an annual run event at Ballari, named the Steel City Run. 2022 was the 1st edition of this annual event. JSW Steel Ltd has been the main sponsor for both the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Steel City Run.
