event5 5

Waking up early is now just a monotone routine. The serious formals, the daily sheet, the annual reports greet us at 9am work. The clicks of heels and vapour of expresso starts our day. We got no time to pause or breathe in the greenery.

But on this 19th October, the Xavier Institute of Managment, Bhubaneswar brings you all X-Athon. Grab on your ipods, plug in your earphones, get your energy drink and prepare to run. Don’t run to compete rather do so to beat the odds. Run for your health. Run for your heart.And more importantly run to bring smiles on a few faces.

All money raised from the event will go to “Smile Foundation”.
