In a city where wellness is fast becoming a way of life, RISE WITH SURAT stood out as a heartfelt celebration of community, movement, and mindfulness. Hosted at Courtyard by Marriott Surat at Earthspace, the morning event brought together fitness lovers across age groups for a balanced start to the day—one that moved from energy to stillness.

The experience was co-created by three wellness-forward partners: Conquering Kilometers (run community partner), Yoga with Pooja (yoga and sound healing facilitator), and Courtyard by Marriott Surat (hospitality and venue partner). The morning began with an energizing 3 km group run that radiated motivation, connection, and purpose across the streets of Surat.

To complete the experience, guests were treated to a nourishing breakfast thoughtfully curated by the hotel’s culinary team. The menu celebrated health and flavour, featuring a mix of wholesome, refreshing, and indulgent items to satisfy every palate.
