Hyderabad, Sept. 7 -- What if a morning run came with tiramisu and ice cream instead of the usual sports drink? Hyderabad's running scene is getting a fun makeover, with community runs that combine fitness, food, music and socialising.

From an ice cream-filled 5K to a tiramisu-themed run, these events are showing that running does not always have to be about speed and competition.

For many Hyderabadis, it is becoming a way to meet people, try something new and enjoy a different kind of Sunday morning.

A 5K with tiramisu

HYD.STRD recently brought a unique idea to the city with its Tiramisu Run, promoted as India's first Tiramisu Run. The concept was simple - bring together running and one of Italy's most popular desserts.
