Event Detail
The Goa Marathon 2027 takes place on Sunday 24 January as an established community running and fundraising event for children supported by El Shaddai Charitable Trust. Organised in association with the Goa Athletic Association, the race welcomes competitive runners and first-time participants to take part in four road-running distances and help fund children's care, shelter and education in Goa.
Running in Goa
The event combines a full marathon, half marathon and 10K with a 5K Dream Run suitable for a broad range of participants. The Dream Run includes a special creative-costume segment, with an award for the standout costume. The organiser says water and support stations will be available along the course. Detailed 2027 route maps have not yet been issued.
Venue and start-time status
The organiser's RunIndia registration listing identifies Miramar Beach, Panaji as the venue and currently displays provisional flag-off times of 04:00 for the marathon, 05:00 for the half marathon, 06:00 for the 10K and 07:00 for the Dream Run, all India time. The principal Goa Marathon website still says the 2027 assembly location and final timings are to be announced. These are therefore registration-provider details, not a confirmed final race-day schedule. Registered runners should check their organiser instructions before travelling.
Entry and race packs
Applications are advertised until 15 January 2027. The main distances include an official event T-shirt. The 5K Dream Run offers an optional T-shirt for an additional ₹500. Eligible finishers receive medals; bibs and timing chips are collected at the pre-race Expo at Campal Beach Resort, Panaji. The organiser has not confirmed the 2027 collection dates or opening hours. Bring an acknowledgement slip or registration confirmation. Proxy collection requires the original acceptance letter, signed authorisation and copy of the runner's photo ID. Refund queries are not accepted after 15 January; check all entry terms before payment.
The Goa Marathon supports El Shaddai Charitable Trust, which provides housing, education and welfare support for underprivileged children. Fees below are organiser-advertised base entry prices; the online payment provider may add service charges.
