Around 1,500 participants completed a 5K run organised by Padmashree Business School and Padmashree Institute of Management and Sciences to promote men's mental health awareness.

The run was held in Kommaghatta, near Kengeri, on July 25.

Shivaprasad G, director and professor at the institute, said the aim is to encourage open conversations, reduce stigma, and promote seeking support for mental well-being.

The event was supported by Cash Back Developers, Decathlon, and KK Media.

This was the second year the institute organised a run, with participants including students, faculty, corporate professionals, and fitness enthusiasts.
