Following the run, participants gathered at Third Wave Coffee for a networking session. The post-run experience included interactive games, participant introductions, and meaningful conversations, creating a welcoming and engaging environment for everyone involved.

The event was widely appreciated for its inclusive and supportive atmosphere. Many participants from the queer community shared that they initially felt apprehensive about attending a new group event but were positively surprised by the warmth, safety, and friendliness of the experience.

“I really didn’t know what to expect from my first community run, but it turned out to be a beautiful experience 😊. From the warm introductions to that cute puzzle game, sabke happy faces made it even more special. The support till the end and the breakfast.. everything added to the vibe. Everything felt safe and well arranged.. chhoti chhoti cheezein bhi really mattered. This experience really motivated me to join more such runs in the future. Thanks for organizing such a memorable event for all of us” — Participant from the queer community

Speaking about the initiative, Vivek Goel, Founder of High Five Tribe, said: “At High Five Tribe, we believe running is not just about fitness — it’s about community, belonging, and showing up for each other. The Happy Feet Run is a reflection of that belief, where everyone feels seen, safe, and supported.”

The High Five Tribe continues to host weekly community runs every Saturday across different parts of Hyderabad, encouraging people from all backgrounds to take their first step into running and build long-term consistency through a supportive ecosystem.

With initiatives like the Happy Feet Run, the group aims to make running more accessible, inclusive, and community-driven, reinforcing Hyderabad’s growing culture of fitness and social connection.
