Surat: The Government of Gujarat has declared the year 2025 as Urban Development Year, under which a series of city-centric events are being organized across the state. As part of this initiative, a special campaign titled “Healthy Gujarat, Obesity-Free Gujarat” will be held across all 17 municipal corporations and 36 municipalities on Sunday, May 11, 2025.

In line with this, the Surat Municipal Corporation will organize a 10-kilometre Night Cyclothon-25 on May 11, starting at 6:30 PM from the Police Parade Ground, passing through Rahul Raj Mall, and returning to the starting point. Around 7,000 participants are expected to take part in the event.
