Nirmal Bang Malad Walkathon 7.0 Mumbai 2026

Race day: Sunday 29 November 2026. The seventh Nirmal Bang Malad Walkathon combines a competitive 10K run with recreational walking options, creating a neighbourhood wellness festival in Mumbai's Malad East. The confirmed gathering and departure point is Sanjay Gandhi Playground, Govind Nagar, Malad East. The organiser requests that participants check the latest event instructions, as times and route logistics may change.

Programme and flag-offs

All times below are India Standard Time (IST; UTC+05:30):

• 10K timed run: report 05:15, flag-off 05:45.
• 5K walk: report 06:00, flag-off 06:30.
• 3K walk and 3K women-only Saree Walk: report 06:15, flag-off 06:45.
• 3K and 5K Student Walks: report 06:30, flag-off 07:00.

The 10K is a running race, while the 5K and 3K main distances are advertised as walking categories, not separate 5K or 3K running races. Participants may register for only one category. The organiser lists 10–25, 26–39, 40–55 and 56–80 age brackets for adult-category 10K/5K/3K competition; the Saree Walk is for women aged 10–80, and school/college Student Walks are for ages 10–21. Age is counted on race day. Consult the official rules for the category applicable to your age and gender.

October pricing and registration

The official organiser registration page advertises early-bird fees until 31 October 2026: INR 800 for the 10K run, INR 700 for 5K Walk, INR 500 for 3K Walk, INR 400 for Saree Walk, and INR 150 for Student Walk. From 1 November, the organiser advertises increases to INR 1,000, 800, 600 and 500 respectively; Student Walk remains INR 150. The official FAQ gives 22 November 2026 as the final registration date, subject to earlier sell-out. Check the organiser's registration page for the actual payable checkout rate. Entry is online only, with no transfers between categories and generally no refunds.

Route, services and participant kit

The event begins at Sanjay Gandhi Playground. The organiser describes a longer route for the 10K run and 5K walk, with a shorter course for 3K categories; published route maps and the final instruction sheet should take precedence over assumptions about road crossings or course laps. Hydration, energy drinks, medical services, ambulances, volunteers, marshals and portable toilets are planned. A baggage counter is not available, and there is no participant parking at the venue; use public transport where practical.

Regular 10K, 5K Walk and 3K Walk entries advertise an event T-shirt, electronic-timing bib, finisher medal, downloadable certificate, refreshments and personalised photos. Saree Walk entrants must wear their own saree, and Student Walk entrants their school or college sports kit; those two options do not include an event T-shirt or chip-timed bib. The organiser advises carrying proof of identity and registration for race-pack pickup. Bib collection dates will be announced separately by email or social media; no race-day bib collection or postal delivery is offered.

Rules and cut-offs

Check the final official instruction sheet for cut-offs: the current homepage shows 07:30 IST for most adult categories and 08:00 for students, but the separate organiser terms page still states 07:15 for all events. Those official sources conflict, so do not treat either as a guaranteed final cut-off without confirmation. The organiser says provisional results will be available within 12 hours, final results after verification, and prize awards recognise leading competitors across qualifying age categories; no cash amounts are invented.
