The Hyderabad Runners Society successfully hosted the 5th edition of the “Gaudium Stadium Run 2025” at the athletic track of Gaudium Sportopia, featuring 24-hour, 12-hour, 6-hour, and relay formats. With more than 523 runners participating from Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and surrounding regions, the stadium remained full of excitement as spectators supported runners throughout the day and night. The event was officially flagged off by K. Nityananda Reddy (Aurobindo Pharma) and Ram Krishna Reddy (CEO, Gaudium) with a total prize purse of ₹3,00,400.

A standout highlight of the event was the exceptional presence of the High Five Tribe, who entered three relay teams, including 18 first-time ultra runners. Their unity, team spirit, and continuous encouragement made them one of the most admired groups of the event.
