Marathons, Runs & Cyclothons in Ahmedabad
5 events matching right now across Ahmedabad — mostly sports (5).
The biggest race in the city is the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon, and its next edition is on Sunday 29 November 2026. Run under the banner Run4OurSoldiers as a tribute to the armed forces, it has four distances: the full marathon of 42.195 km, the half marathon, a 10 km run and a 5 km run. Runners report to the marathon holding area at Paldi, beside the Sabarmati Riverfront, and the long races start before dawn; the organiser's schedule lists a 3 am reporting time for the marathon and 4.15 am for the half. Listed entry fees are ₹1,350 for the half marathon, ₹950 for the 10 km and ₹600 for the 5 km, with charity bibs priced higher. Around it, the running season stretches from October to February, when mornings are cool enough for distance events: corporate and charity 5K and 10K runs on the riverfront and SG Highway, runs in GIFT City and Gandhinagar, cyclothons, walkathons and school fun runs. The riverfront's lower promenade, more than 11 km on each bank, is where most of the city's running groups train. This page lists upcoming races and registration links across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.

Good to know
- Register early. Popular categories at the Ahmedabad marathon close before race week, and bib collection is at a separate expo a day or two earlier.
- Starts are very early, so arrange transport the night before. Riverfront roads are closed to traffic on race morning.
- Even in winter the sun is strong by 8 am. Longer distances start before dawn for that reason; carry a cap for the finish.
- Train on the riverfront's lower promenade to get used to the flat, exposed course.
- Check the age rules for each category before entering children in the 5 km or 10 km runs.
