SBI Green Marathon Season 7 - Chandigarh 2026

SBI Green Marathon Season 7 arrives in Chandigarh on Sunday, 1 November 2026. The organiser's national calendar names Chandigarh Club in Sector 1 as the race venue for this stop of a 17-city initiative by State Bank of India and Mirchi.

Choose your run

Runners can enter a timed half marathon at 5:00 am, a timed 10K at 6:00 am, or an untimed 5K at 7:00 am (India Standard Time). The longer races provide a competitive option with timing bibs and certificates; the 5K is designed for recreational participants and uses a plantable bib. Half-marathon entrants must be at least 18 and 10K entrants at least 16. The two official sources disagree about the 5K minimum age, so families with children should check eligibility with the organiser.

Sustainability and participant experience

The Green Marathon series links running with environmental responsibility. The 2026 registration partner promises organic event T-shirts, finisher medals, route hydration and refreshments, while the organiser also promotes paper cups, biodegradable breakfast plates and managed waste disposal. Runners are asked to stay on the designated route, follow race officials and avoid littering.

Race-day planning

The registration partner asks runners to report at least an hour before their start, making the 5:00 am half-marathon an especially early outing. Check the current access instructions: the master calendar lists Chandigarh Club, but some city-page venue copy still says 'JLN'. Precise assembly and course directions, parking arrangements and race-pack collection times require confirmation before the event.

Entries are advertised to close on 28 October 2026 at 11:00 am IST, subject to places remaining. Base registration prices exclude 18% GST and 3% payment-gateway charges. The vendor states that registrations are non-refundable. Although the organiser lists competitive category prizes, runners should confirm the final 2026 terms rather than assume figures from older seasons.
