The Swami Vivekananda marathon by the Vivekananda Youth Connect Foundation connects the running community with Swami Vivekananda's teachings, emphasizing physical strength, mental resilience, and spiritual growth. Inspired by his words, "Muscles of iron, nerves of steel, and a mind like a thunderbolt," the initiative celebrates individuals who embody these values.

Swami Vivekananda believed in the power of youth to shape the future, urging them to pursue self-discovery, serve humanity, and build strong character. His teachings continue to inspire young leaders to drive positive change and strive for excellence.

"Swami Vivekananda Youth Connect has actively contributed to Mumbai's sustainability through various impactful initiatives. Our efforts include planting trees to enhance green cover, advocating for a plastic ban to reduce pollution, and organizing beach clean-up drives to protect aquatic life and promote a healthier environment. These actions reflect our commitment to creating a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future in alignment with the values of Swami Vivekananda," organisers said.

"Lets together run for physical and mental health "
