St. Michael’s Akademy Runners Shine at the 10th Kauvery Marathon
Trichy, October 5, 2025 — Grit, Sweat, and Immense School Spirit.
Racing for a Vital Cause: Heart Health & Cancer Awareness
It was a morning of immense pride as 40 dedicated runners from St. Michael’s Akademy traveled to Trichy to compete in the milestone 10th edition of the Kauvery Marathon. Our students and faculty traded their uniforms for running gear to support a powerful cause, as this year’s event was themed around Heart Health and Cancer Awareness.
The Akademy contingent was well-represented across two major competitive categories:
- 10KM Category: Challenging our senior runners and fitness-focused staff.
- 5KM Category: A popular choice for our energetic younger students and first-time racers.
Leading by Example: Staff & Student Synergy
Fitness at St. Michael’s Akademy isn’t just for the students. A dedicated group of our staff members also hit the pavement. By running alongside their pupils, they demonstrated the importance of physical health and a “never-give-up” attitude. This synergy is part of why we are considered a top CBSE school in Nagapattinam for holistic development.
The Secret to Our Success: The “Run and Win” Program
The success of our 40 athletes in Trichy was the direct result of the consistent effort put in during our weekly Run and Win program held on our 12-acre green campus.
“The ‘Run and Win’ program made the marathon feel like a natural next step,” noted one of our staff participants. “It has turned fitness into a joyful, confident habit for our kids.”
Congratulations to all our finishers! We are incredibly proud of your vigor and your contribution to the global fight against cancer and heart disease.
