    World Athletics Gold Label Race: The 21st edition of the Mumbai Marathon, a World Athletics Gold Label Race, will witness record participation with more than 69,000 runners, including over 65,400 on-ground participants and 3,700 virtual runners, taking to the streets of Mumbai on January 18. The event will offer a total prize purse of USD 389,524 and feature several of the world’s top distance runners alongside India’s leading athletes.

    This year’s marathon will mark a significant milestone with the inclusion of the city’s iconic Coastal Road in the race route for the first time. The addition, along with the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, is expected to provide runners with uninterrupted views of the Arabian Sea and Mumbai’s skyline, further enhancing the race-day experience.

    Over the last two decades, the Mumbai Marathon has grown into one of Asia’s premier distance-running events, playing a key role in popularising running as a mass-participation sport in India. The event has consistently provided a platform for Indian and international athletes, while also promoting fitness, community engagement and philanthropy. Its sustained growth reflects a wider adoption of running across age groups, genders and social backgrounds.
