Eight Upcoming Marathons You Can Run In Your City

Regardless of whether you are a professional runner or an amateur, marathons are a fun way to maintain your fitness while often contributing to a good cause. Marathon tourism in India used to be an unexplored field; though, over the last couple of decades, there have been many runs organized across the country that have attracted global attention. We’ve rounded up a list of eight Indian marathons you can participate in, in the upcoming months, in your city.

 

1. Adani Ahmedabad Marathon

The Adani Ahmedabad Marathon, an Adani Group initiative, is dedicated to India’s Armed Forces. The race was inaugurated in November 2017. Full marathon, half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km runs are available. Post-COVID, it was the first to organise a physical event by devising time-slot-based systems that allowed over 8,000 runners to participate in the 2021 event over two days while adhering to COVID guidelines. Every year, over 1,000 defense personnel (Air Force, Army, and Navy) take part in the run. A significant portion of the proceeds benefits the Indian Armed Forces.
