X-athon 2023 - 1 Edition

EVENT INFORMATION

X-ATHON’22 is a marathon, a prelude to XPRESSIONS – The Annual Business & Cultural Festival of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB). With the marathon, runners PAN India are united for a cause, representing sportsmanship, camaraderie, and of course, a noble cause. With every edition of Marathon, we aspire to reach out to more people and contribute to bringing the change we wish to see. This year, we run under the theme of “Run for your Hearts.”

X-ATHON makes way for a social event conducted by our Social Responsibility Cell (SRC). X-ENABLE is the Flagship event of SRC, as part of Xpressions- one where we visit orphanages, meet children who are differently abled, or are under-privileged and live a life detached from family . We spend quality time with these kids, playing, exploring their special abilities, conduct competitions of art, dance, music and distribute goodies , encouraging them to smile a little wider than before. The central idea is to make them feel equally ENABLED and CAPABLE in comparison to other kids out of the walls of their orphanages.
