The event is a fundraiser for the cause of providing Prosthetic Limbs to the physically and economically challenged sections of the society. This has been done in association with The Freedom Trust a charitable organisation that specializes in offering these services. Over a 150 physically challenged individuals have been provided with Prosthetic Limbs through this marquee event. Around 20 of them are running a short distance of 50 m for the first time in many years on the 21st of July.

The event saw several families running in support of the cause as in the earlier instances, and was flagged off by Shri R Nataraj, Mylapore MLA and former Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu. He was joined by a few other corporate leaders and eminent personalities of the city.

With a modest beginning in 2012, GAVS Dream Runners Half Marathon has now grown to become a signature event on the marathon calendar of Chennai. From a mere 450 runners in the first edition in 2012, GAVS DRHM supported by title sponsor GAVS Technologies Pvt. ltd. a leading Chennai based IT firm, has grown admirably year after year to about 5400 runners who participated in 10kms and 21.1kms categories.
