Premiethon The Hope Run Hyderabad 2026

Premiethon: The Hope Run 2026 returns to Hyderabad on Sunday, 15 November 2026 for its fifth edition. Organised by the non-profit Extra Mile Foundation, the event brings together runners, families, healthcare professionals and supporters to raise awareness of premature birth and help families facing the cost of neonatal intensive care. The Foundation partners with medical providers to assist premature and sick newborns from families who could otherwise struggle to afford essential treatment.

Running for the smallest fighters

Participants can choose the 3K Hope Run, aimed at families and new runners, or the 5K and 10K timed runs. The organiser also advertised 5K community and 10K champion categories, but those particular entry types are marked registration closed on iFinish as checked on 29 October 2026; the timed options and 3K had active Add controls on the official registration page. Check the live registration platform before paying, as places and categories can change.

The official 2026 iFinish category panels give 05:00 reporting and 05:30 starts (India Standard Time). The current-edition organiser poster and registration map identify T-Works, Hyderabad, as the venue, rather than the T-Hub venue used in 2025. The precise start arch and route remain unconfirmed. The ARC map pin remains an approximate Hyderabad city marker; use the organiser’s T-Works venue directions rather than navigating to that pin. Race-pack pickup, course maps, cut-offs and specific award details should be confirmed with the organiser before travel.

Entry details

The 2026 booking-site index lists 10 November 2026 as the registration closing date, while another current-edition listing gives 11 November. Because the two listings differ, treat the deadline as provisional and check the booking site for the actual category availability. The listed entry amounts are INR 500 (3K), INR 950 (timed 5K) and INR 1,250 (timed 10K); additional community/champion tiers have been shown as sold out.

This is a charity event, not an officially announced full 42.195K marathon. Its purpose is to make each participant's kilometres part of a larger effort to improve the prospects of newborn babies who need urgent care.

Official registration: iFinish Premiethon 2026, checked 29 October 2026.
