Lahore, October 27, 2025 — As part of its 50-Year Strategic Intent of Sustainability and Environmental Leadership, Beaconhouse, in collaboration with WWF-Pakistan, successfully organized Cyclathon 2025 — a large-scale community cycling event held simultaneously in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.

The initiative brought together students, parents, and employees of both organizations to promote sustainable transport, raise awareness about air quality, and advocate for greener urban environments.

With more than 800 participants across the three cities, Cyclathon 2025 served as a vibrant demonstration of collective climate action and the importance of community-driven initiatives in promoting healthier, eco-friendly lifestyles. Covering a combined distance of 28 kilometers, the event highlighted how everyday choices can contribute to reducing carbon emissions and improving urban air quality.

Given that Pakistan ranks among the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world and its major cities continue to face severe air pollution challenges, the event carried particular significance in encouraging environmental responsibility and sustainable urban living.

Speaking about the initiative, Ali Ahmad Khan, Chief Operating Officer of Beaconhouse, said:

> “As Beaconhouse marks 50 years, Cyclathon 2025 reflects our belief that the future of education is inseparable from the future of our planet. By engaging students, parents, and employees alike, we are building a culture of responsibility that extends beyond classrooms and into our daily lives.”

The collaboration between Beaconhouse and WWF-Pakistan marks a significant milestone in fostering community-led climate action. With the success of Cyclathon 2025, both organizations reaffirmed their shared commitment to creating a sustainable, healthy, and environmentally conscious future for Pakistan.
