There is no barrier to gender for this Walkathon. People from every community can join this event and make it a successful one. It's 110% inclusive. Though I am an organizer for this event, I can assure that all Salesforce community memebers are supportive enough to make yourself comfortable at the walkathon. Though I would defer organizers to further comment on this but I think it will be a great environment to promote health, fitness and mindfulness. Also we will promote TDX as well 😊✌️.

The TDX Bengaluru Roadshow 5K Walkathon is an inclusive event open to everyone, regardless of gender. Although it is published by the WIT group, it is a joint effort between the User group and Admin group. As professionals, we are committed to maintaining a respectful and supportive environment for all participants. Should any inconvenience arise, volunteers will be available to assist at any time.

venue changed at the last moment from cubbon park to Agara lake, organizer's don't have common sense to intimate everyone through call or send WhatsApp message about change in venue, very disgusting organising team wasted my time and early morning sleep on Saturday going to cubbon park for no use. very poor arrangement by TDX team.
