Agra Taj Half Marathon 2027

The Agra Taj Half Marathon 2027 returns to Uttar Pradesh on Sunday 14 February 2027 for its fourth edition. Established in 2023 by Agra Sports Foundation, this road-running event brings competitive and recreational runners together in one of India's best-known heritage destinations. All three races start and finish at Eklavya Stadium in Agra.

Choosing your race

The 21.1 km half marathon is the main endurance challenge for adults aged 18 and over. The 10 km is open from age 12 and offers a shorter timed road race, while the 5 km Agra Fun Run, open from age five, is a participation-focused, untimed event. Each participant may enter only one category. The organiser says finishers in all three distances receive a finisher medal. Half-marathon and 10 km finishers can also download timing certificates after results processing; the 5 km does not issue timing certificates.

Race-day setting

Agra makes an appealing long-weekend destination, with the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the food and cultural traditions of the Braj region worth exploring around race day. The stadium is the published start and finish venue, but the organiser has not yet released final 2027 course maps, so particular roads, monument views and elevation should not be assumed. February can bring cool mornings followed by warmer conditions; prepare for the actual forecast, arrange transport around road closures and allow time to reach the stadium.

Entry and logistics

Registration is advertised on the current official race website. The published closing date is 31 January 2027, or earlier if places sell out. As at October 2026, discounted domestic entry prices are advertised, but promotions may change. The organiser also publishes a separate fee schedule for applicants residing outside India, so international runners should verify their applicable price before paying. Applicants must provide a recent photograph and government-issued photo identification; confirmed entries are not transferable.

Race-day reporting and flag-off times remain unannounced, and there are no confirmed 2027 route maps yet. Do not confuse the separate 25 October 2026 promotional 5 km run at Khelgaon Dayalbagh with the main 14 February event. Race numbers must be collected at the pre-race BIB Expo, not mailed to participants; Expo dates and times have yet to be published. Take your application confirmation and official photo ID, or follow the organiser's representative-collection requirements if someone collects on your behalf.

Domestic and international entry fees

The organiser's current-edition fee table distinguishes applicants residing in India from applicants residing outside India. Its advertised domestic early-bird prices are INR 1,000 (21.1K), INR 900 (10K) and INR 800 (5K), inclusive of the stated 18% GST. For international applicants, the separately published fees are USD 60 (21.1K), USD 40 (10K) and USD 30 (5K). These are advertised category prices, not currency conversions; verify your place and final checkout amount before paying. Current promotion and processing rules may change. The organiser's contact number is +91 98370 88823.
