The Oberoi Grand in Kolkata hosted the Tata Steel Kolkata 25K 2022, the largest running event in East India, celebrating sport, art, and charity.

This edition of the TSK 25K, the only 25K road race in the world with the World Athletics Elite Label, was welcomed in by Notun Josh. TSK 25K, which brings together 15,000+ people in a festival of oneness, healthy living, and inspiring the joy of giving, is ingrained in the city’s culture and has grown to become one of the most anticipated events on the city’s sporting calendar.

Distance running and philanthropy are inextricably interwoven, and the TSK 25K has motivated the public to look beyond themselves in service of the greater good over the years. A total of 22 NGOs participated in the seventh edition, which was a success and was backed by United Way Kolkata as a philanthropy partner to generate money for charity.

Eleven corporate donors took part, and a number of motivating people also raised money. 350 corporate runners joined together in an excellent turnout to support NGOs.

The Tata Steel Kolkata 25K is guided by the ideals of neutrality, transparency, accountability, and sustainability. All the dignitaries present, including Tata Steel, unveiled a docket that accounts for the monies raised.
