Mission Green Telangana Run Hyderabad 2026

Mission Green Telangana Run 2026 is a community running and environmental-awareness event organised by SJ Foundation in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Its campaign, "Every Runner, a Climate Warrior", aims to connect an active lifestyle with practical environmental responsibility, particularly tree adoption, water conservation and a greener Telangana. The organiser's message is "Save Water, Save Future".

Three distances for different ages

The in-person programme lists 2 km, 5 km and 10 km runs, allowing families, newcomers and more experienced recreational runners to participate. The published minimum ages are:

• 2K: five years and older.
• 5K: ten years and older.
• 10K: sixteen years and older.

The 2026 registration listings advertise INR 800 for 2K, INR 900 for 5K and INR 1,200 for 10K, before any separately applied checkout charges. Entrants should choose a category they can complete comfortably and check age requirements carefully when registering. Whether chip timing, rankings or prizes will be offered for particular distances has not been confirmed in the accessible official race instructions, so do not assume that all three categories are competitive races.

Race-day planning

The official iFinish category panels checked on 29 October 2026 identify Gachibowli as the host area and give 05:00 reporting and 05:30 starts (Indian Standard Time) for all three in-person distances. The exact assembly location, start/finish line and route map have not been verified from an official participant guide. The ARC map shows an approximate location in Gachibowli, not a confirmed starting gate. In particular, do not assume the event starts at Gachibowli Stadium without a current-edition organiser announcement.

With an early start, runners should confirm the precise race venue, security or check-in requirements, parking and transport options before leaving home. Hyderabad's November mornings can be considerably cooler than midday, but runners still need suitable hydration and clothing. Follow on-course signage, avoid littering and respect other road users and participants.

Registration and important unknowns

The iFinish registration platform, which carries the organiser's 2026 event listing, gives 14 October to 11 November 2026 as the registration period. A separate aggregator quotes 12 November as the closing date; the iFinish date of 11 November should take priority unless the organiser publishes an extension. Registration availability may also change before the published deadline, so confirm the current status directly at checkout.

On 29 October 2026, all three in-person categories had active Add controls on iFinish. The 10K panel lists a certificate, medal, medical support, refreshment drink and T-shirt; 5K lists a certificate, refreshment drink and T-shirt; 2K lists a medal, refreshment drink and T-shirt. Do not assume that the benefits are identical. The official race-pack collection venue and hours, route maps, aid-station arrangements, refund rules and any cancellation or postponement arrangements have not yet been independently verified. These should be checked with SJ Foundation or iFinish before making travel or purchase decisions. We have not entered an invented collection location or assumed that runners will receive a particular medal or T-shirt.

The central purpose of the event is to encourage local action beyond race day: adopting and caring for trees, using water responsibly and involving younger generations in environmental stewardship. Those interested in supporting that mission can use the organiser-linked iFinish event page for the current entry instructions and updates.
