Since we care about our employees’ health, we have been sponsoring employees who run the Chennai Marathon for many years. In 2014, we suggested starting an annual marathon for the MEPZ Manufacturers Association (MEPZMA). The idea was well received, and in March 2015, MEPZ Run was started. Since then, it has been an annual marathon and one of the largest in Chennai. The route is also quite scenic, beginning and ending within the MEPZ Campus, passing through the forest behind the MEPZ Campus, and proceeding along the Chennai Outer Ring Road and the Chennai Bypass. From the beginning, there were three different distances: 5km, 10km and a Half Marathon. The shorter distance has been shortened to 2km and is mainly intended for children.
The purpose of the MEPZ Run is to put MEPZ on the map and encourage people to lead healthier lives. The proceeds will be used to plant trees and make MEPZ greener, which aligns well with our values. Therefore, we have also been a key sponsor for all five races since 2015.
Below, you will find some photos of our staff after they ran!
