The Punjab Women’s Commission will organise the ‘She Runs-2026’ marathon in Maur on September 9, with women from different age groups expected to participate in the state’s first exclusive women’s marathon aimed at promoting health, quality of life and women’s empowerment.
Punjab Women’s Commission Chairperson Raj Lalli Gill announced the event while addressing media persons. Punjab Medium Industry Development Board Chairman Neel Garg was also present.
