Beardo-Thon India’s 1st run for men’s health which started in September 2018 has wrapped its season 2 powered by Beardo. In its second edition this year, Beardo-Thon had aimed to put the spotlight on men's health and cancer.

With no age group or gender barrier, the run had three categories – 21kms, 10kms and 5kms. Both women and men were part of the event. Beardo had also teamed up with local gyms which helped them cover a 360-degree aspect for health and fitness with a special focus on raising awareness on cancer.
