Run to Celebrate: Jashn e Azadi Fun Run & Walk On Monday, August 14th, marks 77 beautiful years of the independence of Pakistan; 77 matchless years of Freedom; 77 years of making history; 77 years as a sovereign nation; 77 years & counting. Like every past year, Islamabad Run With Us (IRU), staying true to its values of bringing the entire active community together, presents to you the JASHAN-E-AZADI Fun RUN to kick-start Independence Day with much needed Vigour & Vitality. We will be doing an easy-paced 5 KM run through Shakarparian (walk pacers are welcome to join us since it’s a short distance run). THE PLAN: We will gather in the parking space for ROSE & JASMINE GARDEN at 5:40 AM; We will then make our way towards Chand Tara where we will be joined by the members from Islamabad’s cycling groups to sing a National Anthem together at sharp 6:00 Am. After the National Anthem, we will start with our run at 6:10 AM towards Shakarparian View point on one of the most scenic roads in The Capital: Shakarparian Road. The road is adjacent to the Shakarparian Jungle on the one side and the famous Shakarparian hill on the other side. We will make our way up to the Pakistan Monument; and after exploring the beautiful hill; the return will be through the Shakarparian Jungle Trail. All running participants are encouraged to join in the fun of face-painting, expressing their support for the vibrant colors of the Pakistani flag.
