Ever since the city first embraced the Mumbai Marathon in 2004, there has been an explosion of annual races and walks to encourage and promote a healthy lifestyle. In a first, mothers-to-be can also join the fun, with a pregathon organised exclusively for them.

The Bio-Oil Pregathon to be held today, will bring over 300 mothers together for a kilometre-long walk, followed by some pampering. "We have always believed in encouraging conversations about crucial questions and concerns that pregnant women have during their journey, whether it is accepting and embracing the body changes or the crucial role of friends and family in this journey. This year, our endeavour is to drive conversations around self-love, care and fitness, which sometimes get side-lined," says Suchit Bansal, from the sponsor brand.
