Run for Safe Food Kolkata 2027

Run for Safe Food 2027 takes place at Eco Park, New Town, Kolkata, on Sunday 14 February 2027. Organised by MUKTI, this community event unites runners, families and local teams around a message of nutritious food, responsible consumption, sustainable farming and support for the people who grow our food.

The running programme

The relay-inspired 5K team category comprises five members, with the official entry fee charged per member. Each participant completes 5 km; follow the final organiser instructions for the team format and baton arrangements. Individual entrants can choose the timed 10K or 5K, while the non-competitive 3K Sustainability Walkathon welcomes those who would rather walk for the cause. Starting at Eco Park near its Eiffel Tower replica, the categories have staggered flag-offs: 5:30 am for the relay, 5:45 am for the 10K, 6:15 am for the 5K and 7:00 am for the 3K walk. All times are local Indian time. Reporting opens 45 to 60 minutes before each start.

A race with a purpose

The focus is broader than finishing times. MUKTI uses the event to encourage healthier eating, stronger links with farming communities and shared responsibility for sustainable food systems. The organiser advertises recognition for relay teams, fundraising teams and notable community participation, along with finisher medals, T-shirts, goody bags and healthy refreshments. Route maps are still forthcoming.
