Powered by Stayfree Tampons, GoFloRun 2025 returned to the Dome SVP Stadium with unmatched energy as actress and wellness advocate Neha Dhupia and co-founder, ex-national athlete and entrepreneur Anita Lobo once again led thousands of women in a transformative celebration of strength, solidarity, and menstrual health awareness.
What began as a spark last year has now evolved into a full-fledged movement. The second edition drew 1,500+ women from across the country, all running to normalize menstrual-health conversations, champion fitness, and celebrate the spirit of community.
The morning began with a high-energy boxing warmup before participants set off across the 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km categories. Women from all age groups and backgrounds — students, professionals, homemakers, athletes, and first-timers — came together with a shared mission of embracing wellness without stigma or hesitation.
The flag-off moment featured a strong show of support from public figures including Varun Sood and singer Neeti Mohan, who recently launched her single Mirza. Entrepreneur and musician Ananya Birla added a special spark to the event as she not only flagged off the run but participated herself, embodying the GoFloRun ethos of commitment and community.
This year, GoFloRun strengthened its partnership with Dome SVP Stadium under the leadership of Managing Director Mazhar Nadiadwala, elevating the scale, safety, and celebratory atmosphere. EMCEE Shraddha Shinde kept spirits soaring with her electrifying presence and engaging stage command, energizing participants throughout the event.
Neha Dhupia reflected on the movement’s growth, saying, “The first time I ever ran a marathon, I ran alone with my coach. Today, as we embark on the 2nd year of GoFloRun, I run with the spirit of 1500+ women, each one taking a step toward changing the future of girls from different parts of the country… We are bringing about change, one step at a time, one family at a time, at our own pace, just like GoFloRun itself.”
Co-founder Anita Lobo spoke about the emotional depth behind the run, sharing, “When we began GoFloRun, I was terrified, not of the run, but of whether women would truly resonate with a movement that asks them to open up about something so personal… This community feels like a family now — one that celebrates you, lifts you, and reminds you that you’re not alone.”
Stayfree, the presenting partner, continued its mission of destigmatizing period conversations. Supriya Srinivasa, Director Marketing, Fem Care, Stayfree, said, “Stayfree’s partnership with GoFloRun for the second year spotlights the importance of menstrual health… This movement proves that periods is not just a women’s issue, it’s a human one.”
Supporting partner No Secrets also emphasized its commitment to accessible wellness. Co-founder Noel Prince stated, “Our mission is simple yet powerful: to bring honest wellness to every household… By supporting GoFloRun, we align our commitment to community wellness with a meaningful event that uplifts and encourages women to be their best.”
The event concluded with an atmosphere of triumph and unity as participants celebrated their collective journey — a testament to Anita Lobo’s vision of creating a movement rooted in empowerment, fitness, and stigma-free dialogue around menstrual health.
Behind the scenes, the GoFloRun core team — led by Neha Dhupia and Anita Lobo, with Neel Vora (Project Head) and Vineetha Mehta (Sr. Brand Manager) — along with the extended crew, ensured seamless execution across registration, safety, and participant experience. Their dedication and precision shaped the foundation for one of Mumbai’s most impactful women-centric wellness events of the year.
GoFloRun 2025 marks a new chapter for women’s health movements in India — one where women run not just for fitness, but for freedom, confidence, and community.
