Get Ready – IMU CHARIOFARE is Back and Bigger Than Ever!
Since its debut in 2012, CHARIOFARE has touched the lives of over 10,000 underprivileged individuals across the nation – providing vital essentials, medical aid, equipment, and emergency relief when it’s needed most.
Now, Chariofare 2026 returns on 17 October 2026 – and you’re invited! Join IMU staff, students, families, community partners, and the public for a day filled with excitement, teamwork, and purpose.
This year, Chariofare is taking on a whole new experience. Instead of the traditional marathon run, participants will take part in an interactive fun run featuring checkpoints, puzzles, clues, and challenges to solve along the way. Gather your friends and family, work together, and race to complete the adventure while creating unforgettable memories.
Beyond the team race, enjoy a vibrant carnival packed with workshops, exciting games, delicious food, live entertainment, and activities for all ages. Whether you’re here to challenge yourself, spend time with loved ones, or support a meaningful cause, there’s something for everyone at Chariofare 2026.
Don’t miss out — come have fun, make memories, and make a difference with us at Chariofare 2026!
