Tamil Vetri Nadai Odu (TVNO’24): 

A Landmark Event in the Tamil Community

On May 11th, the vibrant Sunnyvale Baylands Park became the epicenter of an extraordinary event – the Tamil Vetri Nadai Odu (TVNO’24). Organized by the SFBATM, this event marked a significant milestone as the Tamil Mandram introduced its first-ever Half Marathon, 15K, 10K, and 5K run/walk. The event witnessed a remarkable turnout, bringing together community members, athletes, and supporters for a day of health, fitness, and camaraderie.

A Day of Celebration and Achievement

The event kicked off early in the morning with participants brimming with enthusiasm. From seasoned runners to casual walkers, the inclusive nature of TVNO’24 ensured that everyone could take part in this memorable occasion. The course, set against the picturesque backdrop of Sunnyvale Baylands Park, provided an ideal setting for the runners to test their endurance and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

Community Collaboration

TVNO’24 was made possible by the generous support of various sponsors and community partners. Profit.co, the title sponsor, played a crucial role in backing the event. Aappakadai USA, the food sponsor, ensured that participants were well-nourished with delicious meals. Community partners such as SEEEDS, CIF, SKYYOGA, UPF, ATEA, AiA, and Sports Basement contributed significantly to the success of the event.

Sports Basement, in particular, joined as a community partner and offered a 20% discount to participants, alongside honoring the top runners with special accolades. This partnership highlighted the community spirit and collective effort that drove TVNO’24.

Honoring the Participants
