Pune: Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF) announced the second edition of Run InSync, an inclusive running event that brings together persons with and without disabilities to promote disability inclusion. The run will take place on February 14, 2026 with the rallying call #Love2ShowUp, a reminder that the greatest act of love is to be present for each other. Run InSync is supported by Bajaj Finserv under its social impact initiatives. The inclusive run has garnered CSR support from Tata AutoComp Systems and eClerx, with Upadhyaya Foundation coming onboard as a philanthropic partner. Bajaj Finserv and Tata Autocomp Systems are supporting this cause for the second consecutive year. Dr Geeta Shinde and Mr Dhananjay Bhole from the Savitribai Phule Pune University have also extended their wholehearted support to the event.
Following the huge success of its inaugural edition where over 5000 people with and without disability ran together, Run InSync 2026 will once again pair runners with and without disabilities to move together, in step and in spirit, breaking barriers and building empathy through the power of sport. The event aims to create an environment where every participant’s ability is valued and where human connection matters more than competition.
“It’s incredible to be doing this a second time,” said Divyanshu Ganatra, ABBF Founder. “The first edition was absolute magic, and I expect this second run to be bigger, better, more meaningful. #Love2ShowUp is not just some hashtag or theme for us. It is our invitation to the nation to come together, be present, and make inclusion a lived reality. I’d urge everyone to register as quickly as possible because spots can run out in the blink of an eye!”
“Run InSync brings people of all abilities together, celebrating every stride. We’re proud to support participants with visual impairment and champion a world where everyone can move forward together.” – Brinda Upadhyaya, Founder, Upadhyaya Foundation.
Run InSync is open to participants of all fitness levels and welcomes those who wish to run, walk, or roll on wheelchairs. The event will feature different race categories to suit diverse abilities, with volunteers and guides ensuring every participant can take part safely and meaningfully.
