New Delhi: As part of efforts to turn the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan into a nationwide people’s movement, Health Fitness Trust will host the 24th edition of “Run Against Drug Abuse 2026” at Gandhi Darshan, Rajghat, on International Yoga Day. Backed by the Government of India’s Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan and supported by State Bank of India (SBI) as the Title Sponsor, the event is expected to bring together over 2,500 citizens to promote a healthier and addiction-free India.

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.
