Mehsana Marathon 2026 - Edition 2

The second Mehsana Marathon is scheduled for Sunday 15 November 2026 in Mehsana, Gujarat. Organised by 18th Kilometer, this community road-running event brings together recreational entrants and competitive distance runners across four categories: full marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K.

Race categories and eligibility

The 42.195 km marathon and 21.097 km half marathon are timed events for adults aged 18 and over. The timed 10K is open from age 16. The 5K Fun and Fitness Run is untimed, open to runners aged 10 and above, and does not have podium prizes. The timed events offer age-based divisions, including 16–25 for 10K runners, adult groups up to 65, and a 66-and-above division. The organisers advertise trophies for podium finishers in the marathon, half marathon and 10K.

On-course arrangements

Event information describes a road-running course in the Mehsana area, with water and medical support on the route. Participants are asked to be fit for their chosen challenge, follow marshal instructions and course signage, use designated aid stations rather than outside assistance, and alert organisers to anyone experiencing difficulty. A dry-fit running shirt, finisher medal, electronic participation certificate and breakfast following the race are advertised among participant entitlements.

Planning your visit

The exact 2026 start-line address, final course maps and confirmed distance-specific flag-off timetable were not published in the organiser-linked information reviewed. Some online calendars show different start times, so those should not be treated as confirmed. The stored event date uses a midnight date-only reference rather than an asserted race start. The map coordinates identify central Mehsana, not a verified assembly point.

Runners should consult the official registration and organiser notices for bib-collection arrangements, starting blocks, any registration deadline, route updates and traffic instructions before travelling. The category entry costs are recorded separately in the race information cards on this listing.
