New Delhi: Health Fitness Trust is set to organise the 24th edition of “Run Against Drug Abuse 2026” at Gandhi Darshan, Rajghat, on International Yoga Day, reinforcing efforts to make the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan a true Jan Andolan. Supported by the Government of India’s flagship anti-drug campaign and sponsored by State Bank of India (SBI), the event will unite over 2,500 citizens in support of a healthier, stronger, and drug-free India.
Led by the team of Dr. Sunita Godara, Asian Marathon Gold Medalist (1992), the event will welcome students, fitness enthusiasts, professionals, senior citizens and members of civil society.

Following the flag-off, all participants will take the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (NMBA) Pledge, reaffirming their resolve to build a drug-free society. They will then participate in the Common Yoga Protocol session, celebrating the spirit of International Yoga Day and highlighting the role of yoga in promoting physical health, mental well-being and a balanced lifestyle.
The programme will conclude with a symbolic walk/run led by the dignitaries, reinforcing the message that every step towards fitness is a step towards a stronger, healthier and addiction-free India.
By combining running, yoga and community participation on one platform, Health Fitness Trust aims to transform the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan into a people’s movement, inspiring individuals to become ambassadors of positive change and take the message of a drug-free India to every family and every community.
