Fun run

We’re bringing the Veerni Run back to AIEC and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Join the Acumen team for an early morning that’s all about movement, community, and impact. It’s a chance to kick-start your day alongside fellow delegates, connect beyond the conference, and contribute to something that truly matters.

We are inviting all conference delegates to join us for Footprints of Change: Acumen 5K Run for Veerni Literacy Programme. This event is to an exciting experience filled with camaraderie, fitness, and most importantly, making a positive impact on the lives of young girls in rural Rajasthan.

  1. When: Thursday, 29 October, 2026 
  2. Time: Rise and shine! We’re meeting at 6:15 am for a 6:30 am start

Veerni Literacy Project works to support girls in rural India who face barriers to education—opening up access to learning, life skills, and future opportunities. Every step taken during the run contributes to that larger mission.

Whether you’re a regular runner, a casual walker, or just keen to be part of something meaningful, this event is open to everyone. Bring your colleagues, bring your energy—the more people who join, the greater the impact we can create together.

Set your alarms, lace up your shoes, and come ready to start the day with purpose.

If you’re unable to join but would still like to support the initiative, you can contribute directly via the Veerni website.

We can’t wait to see you there.
