Event Detail
The ninth Bathinda Half Marathon brings road runners and families to Bathinda in Punjab on Sunday 28 March 2027. Organised by Bathinda Runners Club, it promotes community fitness and health awareness, particularly prevention of lifestyle-related illness and cancer.
Four running distances
- 21.1 km half marathon: competitive, timed, ages 18+, with a three-hour 30-minute cut-off. The event lists age- and gender-based racing divisions.
- 10 km: competitive, timed, minimum age 15, two-hour cut-off, and overall or age-group prizes.
- 5 km: non-timed fun run for ages 8+, without a formal cut-off or competitive prize divisions.
- 1 km: non-timed children's fun run, with no prescribed cut-off or cash-prize divisions.
The organisers advertise ₹2 lakh in total cash prizes for the timed half-marathon and 10K races. Registered runners are offered a dri-fit T-shirt, bib, goodie bag, hydration, finisher medal, post-race refreshments, on-site medical and physiotherapy support and finisher certificate. Photography, route marshals, ambulances, baggage storage, toilets, parking and finish-line music are advertised. Timing is applicable to the 21.1K and 10K only; the 5K and 1K are non-timed.
Entry and early-booking offers

Event-day logistics
The registration partner gives an overall 5:30 am–9:30 am India Standard Time event window, but individual category start times have not been verified. The exact start/finish venue, route and 2027 race-pack collection details are still to be announced. The Bathinda map pin is indicative of the city, not the confirmed race start.
