Event Detail
The Federal Bank Pune Marathon 2026 returns on Sunday 22 November 2026 with four options: a full 42.195 km marathon, 21.0975 km half marathon, 10 km road race and non-timed 5 km. The event is presented by Federal Bank and run in partnership with Striders, bringing both competitive and recreational runners together in Maharashtra's major university and technology city.
Confirmed 2026 venue
Important current-edition correction: The organiser's live 2026 listing now names Police Bharti Ground, Pashan, Pune, as the venue. Earlier information left the venue unconfirmed and mapped central Pune; this should not be confused with Savitribai Phule Pune University, which was the location advertised for the separate 2025 edition. The location pin represents the identified Pashan ground, not a separately verified race start-line or entry gate. Follow the official runner guide for access, parking, assembly and course directions.
Timing and registration
The organiser lists 03:50 IST as the reporting time, not as a confirmed individual flag-off. Each distance may start at a different time; no 2026 wave time has been substituted from the 2025 schedule. The current organiser website provides a Register button for the 2026 event and advertises fees starting from INR 600. Other current-edition booking listings show around INR 600 for 5K, INR 799–800 for 10K, INR 1,000 for the half marathon and INR 1,150 for the full marathon; they disagree about whether taxes are added at checkout. Check the amount and availability on the chosen registration portal before payment.
What to confirm before race day
The organiser has not yet clearly published the individual 2026 flag-offs, exact route maps, bib/race-pack collection venue and hours, or current-edition prize and participant-benefit schedules in the source available for this review. Avoid copying these arrangements from 2025. Runners should check the organiser's final confirmation email and race instructions, particularly for road closures and morning transport to Pashan.
