The Ahmedabad Marathon 2025 will be held on November 30, with the start and finish point at the Sabarmati Riverfront, the organisers announced on Monday.
Registrations for all race categories – full marathon, half marathon, 10km run and 5km run – opened on August 15 and will remain open in the lead-up to the event.
Since its inception in 2017, the Ahmedabad Marathon has been held annually. Over the years, the event has grown into one of the country’s premier running festivals, attracting participants from across India.
In 2022, the Ahmedabad Marathon was listed on the Global Marathon Event List by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS). The race also holds certification from the Athletics Federation of India (AFI).
The route showcases some of Ahmedabad’s most iconic landmarks, including the Atal Bridge, Gandhi Ashram and Ellis Bridge, making it one of the most picturesque running experiences in the country.
In its previous edition in 2024, around 20,000 runners took part in the marathon, with more than 3,000 defence personnel joining in.
The central theme of the marathon continues to be Run4OurSoldiers – a tribute to the service and sacrifices of the Indian Armed Forces.
A major portion of the proceeds from the event goes for the welfare of the armed forces.
At the last edition, Gyan Babu won the men’s open full marathon title in Ahmedabad while Jyoti Gawate was crowned the women’s champion.
