"When you run towards change, every step counts.” This powerful message defined the groundwork for a meaningful event on June 5th, on World Environment Day 2025. An eco-friendly 5km run hosted by Doko Recyclers in collaboration with Meltdown Wellness brought together individuals and organizations passionate about sustainability and wellness. This event was held at Le Sherpa, Maharajgunj, which took us on a loop along the Ring Road, starting and ending at the venue.

With our lovely operations team, Footprint, joined the run whilst embracing the opportunity to be a part of an important cause. Before the run, we had a warmup session to get started. The vibe was infectious, and the turnout of participants was truly amazing. Running alongside representatives from organisations like SmartPaani, Tearfund, and many others was an experience that will go down in the books!

The main motive for this event was to plant 1 tree for every 5 participants and celebrate the collective action and environmental awareness. The concept of the whole event was truly refreshing and meaningful.TearFund Nepal

After the run, participants were engaged in interactive activities like quiz games, snacks, and drinks that helped everyone unwind and connect, which surely added a communal touch to the day.

To sum up, the event was a great success. It was a reminder to everyone that small steps, like a run on a sunny morning, can contribute to big movements for change. Our team is proud to have been a part of this initiative to help promote sustainability and save our planet. We look forward to supporting more such social events in the future and inspiring the world to take action for a greener future.
