--Dear Friends,We are glad to announce Ananda Yana 2017!! This is the fifth year of the event!! The coordination team has been formed and preparations have started. Registrations are OPEN!Website: http://anandayana.runnershigh.inWhat is Ananda Yana ?'Ananda Yana' as an event was conceptualized by Runners High ( http://www.tinyurl.com/ananda-yana-concept ). At the coaches retreat in Feb, 2013 (the very first one), all of us felt that the community needed an event that brings us all together with other runners and non-runners in Bangalore. We were also looking for ways to generate more funds for the community efforts we were involved with while creating much needed awareness about our training for the children, their needs etc. At the same time, we all lamented the dearth of events that celebrated the true spirit of running in the sense of cooperation and community. There was also increasingly an environment that promoted ruthless competition and a culture of unnecessary consumerism. Why not an event sans timing, the frills, no plastic, filled with positive spirit, smiles and a wonderful breakfast? Why not a run that will bring all runners and non-runners together to celebrate each other than to promote competition ? Why not a run that will bring all the children and staff of the cause on the same platform as the runners contributing to the cause? Thus, Ananda Yana was born with its core philosophy and vision.Ananda Yana 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 were all a grand success! We received a very positive feedback from all participants. They all felt the event was unlike many they have been part of. Many many runners started with Ananda Yana and got hooked on to running as a habit! Everyone truly enjoyed the spirit of the event. So much so that one of the years, when the timing clock went haywire, no participants noticed - they were busy dancing to the great tunes from the wonderful band :) - We had met our objective of creating an event that promoted community and cooperation. A feeling of positivity all around!The event raised close to 12 lakhs in the last four years. We have used these funds towards procurement of good running shoes for the children of the various initiatives we are involved with and meeting their nutrition needs. The shoes helped the children train better and also helped us inculcate the habit of taking care of their belongings with care. We created separate shelves to keep their shoes. They used the shoes only for running and ensure that they were maintained regularly. You can read more about how the funds raised was spent hereThis year, again we look forward to raise funds for procuring good running shoes for the children who are training for various sports program. Lets all come together to create an event that celebrates the community!Volunteering at the event:We will need a lot of volunteer support (close to 100-150 volunteers) to conduct the event smoothly. Please do read through the form and volunteer for the tasks here - http://tinyurl.com/AY2017-volunteeringEvery year, we are able to conduct the event ONLY because of the amazing volunteer strength of Runners High! This year too, we depend on the efforts and time given by you all! Please do consider helping us out!Registering to run in the event:

Hi Santhosh,
Can we get a template email that we can circulate among friends and family circle that help creating an awareness about this event and encourage them to register? Since above mail is specific to RH community, I don't think we can forward this to others.
Thanks,
Sharath
