How did the Wesness 5K in Pune go?

Women running the Wesness Pune 5K celebrating fitness, community and empowerment

Pune girls… shall we talk about the morning that shook the city awake? The women-only 5K that rewrote what fitness looks like. Because Wesness Pune wasn’t just an event. It was a movement! A women-led storm of sneakers. Fitness. And serious queen energy! On 9th November 2025. From 5:30 AM to 10 AM. At Balewadi Stadium. It felt like the happiest girlhood self-love festival ever! And babe! Pune showed up. The vibe was electric! Loud! And that unbeatable “we run this city” energy was pulsing through the air. You didn’t have to be a pro runner girl. You just had to show up and let that queen energy do the rest! Honestly? It was pretty historic!

What’s Wesness All About?

An initiative by Westside. Wesness is India’s fastest-growing women’s running and wellness community. And a total vibe. This isn’t about chasing six-packs or calorie goals babe. It’s about chasing joy. Sweat that feels like freedom. Friendships that last longer than your playlist. A 5K fun run led by women – for women. Wesness is changing how we move. And why we move. It’s fitness with feeling. You’ll find yourself in a crowd that claps when you cross the finish line. Cheers when you slow down. And reminds you that this journey is yours. No comparison. No competition. Just a loving, supportive community.

So… how was the energy on the ground?

The sun was barely up. But the beats were already pumping. The stadium glowed in neon. And hundreds of women: First-timers. Seasoned runners. Besties. Solo queens. All warming up together like it’s the most aesthetic montage of a feel-good sports movie. No nerves. No judgement. Just pure sisterhood and that “we’re doing this together” energy! It wasn’t just a run babe! It was a collective glow-up session.

But what made it so special?

It wasn’t about speed. Or finish times. Or who reached first. It was about showing up. It didn’t matter if you walked. Jogged. Ran (all while gossiping with your new bestie). Danced. Or skipped your way through the 5K. Every step felt joyful.

Wesness has this vibe where you don’t just run. You connect. You laugh. You surprise yourself. You find people who cheer for you like you’re the heroine of the film.

And the way friendships sparked? Unreal. Girl gangs formed. Selfies flew. High-fives everywhere. The kind of morning that stays with you long after the medals are handed out.

Every step felt like:

“I’m doing this for me.”

“I deserve this.”

“I’m stronger than yesterday.”

Because babe… meaning met movement.

What were the best parts of the experience?

Oh baby… it was LOADED.

Here’s the glow-up rundown:

  • Zumba Warm-Up: the hype starter pack. Music up. Energy up. Confidence all the way up.
  • Studiowest Nail Bar: a pamper zone right at the venue (yes, manicures after a run…because why not?).
  • Live DJ: turning cardio into a dance floor.
  • WISH performance: full goosebumps moment.
  • Food boxes: because queens need fuel.
  • Trampolines and Hula Hoops: peak serotonin.
  • Medal engraving: because every achievement deserves to be personalised.

Breast Cancer Awareness – Girls Talk: the heart of the event, grounding the whole morning in real conversations and real care.

Every corner had something. Something fun. Something thoughtful. Something very Wesness.

Who showed up for the run?

Short answer? Everyone.

Long answer?

Women who had never run a kilometre. Women who run marathons for breakfast. Moms with prams. College girls. Office girls. Besties. Cousins. And solo queens who decided “today, I’m showing up for myself.”

Why Be a Wesness Girl?

Because being a Wesness girl means owning your story. It’s a safe. Women-only space where you can move without judgment. Vibe without pressure. And just exist as your best, most unapologetic self. It’s all about that real connection.

So… why is everyone calling Wesness the best run of the year?

It was about feeling good. In your body. In your mind. In your space. Women celebrating women.

Women reminding each other that joy is a muscle. And Wesness helps you flex it.

And now the big question! What’s next?

One word.
