Union Bank of India Thane Half Marathon 2027

The 13th Union Bank of India Thane Half Marathon takes place in Thane, Maharashtra, on Sunday 7 February 2027, organised by Striders.

The 2027 Thane running festival

Presented by Union Bank of India and organised by Striders, this annual road-running event brings competitive athletes, recreational runners and local families to Thane, near Mumbai. The organiser identifies it as the 13th edition and anticipates a large field. The announced programme offers three distinct participation options:

• 21.0975 km Half Marathon: a timed endurance road race.
• 10 km Challenge Run: a timed shorter-distance race.
• 4 km Family Run: an inclusive, non-timed event rather than a competitive 4K race.

These are three separate entries; runners should select their preferred category on the official registration service. The organiser's current Striders event directory displays entries for this edition and currently offers discounted prices INR 1,608 for 21K, INR 1,419 for 10K and INR 860 for the non-timed 4K, including 18% GST, but the complete category-specific fee schedule, tax treatment and availability must be checked at checkout. No single advertised 'from' price should be assumed to apply to every distance.

Getting ready for race morning

The live 2027 Striders booking page confirms the date and three distances and offers ticket selection. Its Event Information panel says details will be announced closer to the event date. Exact flag-off times, reporting instructions and start/finish venue remain TBA. ARC displays the confirmed date with the start time marked TBA.

The event venue is advertised broadly as Thane, Maharashtra; the map shows the city area rather than a surveyed start/finish location. Check the final participant guide before arranging transport. Race-bib collection dates, location, runner entitlements, minimum ages, transfer/refund rules and the closing date need confirmation from the 2027 registration terms. Some old FAQ text on the race website refers to the earlier edition and should not be applied to 2027 without reconfirmation.
