World Women's Day Run Namma Chennai 2027

World Women's Day Run – Namma Chennai 2027 is a community running event presented by Gagner Sports on Sunday 21 March 2027 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Despite the Women's Day theme, the organiser welcomes women and men, families and first-time runners. It combines a relaxed 3K fun run with timed 5K and 10K competitions. The event is listed on the official District booking page and on iFinish.

Gathering place and course details

District identifies Olcott Memorial Higher Secondary School, Besant Avenue, Besant Nagar, Chennai, as the venue. Its booking listing gives 05:00 IST as the event programme start; another current ticketing partner advertises 05:30 IST. Treat the precise assembly and category-specific flag-offs as pending the organiser's final instructions, rather than assuming every distance begins at the same time. Secondary running calendars mention Besant Nagar Beach; this may describe the broader running area, not a confirmed replacement for the school venue. Current-edition course maps, road-closure arrangements, hydration locations, cut-offs and race-pack collection arrangements have not yet been verified.

Participation and race format

The 3K is promoted as a non-timed, welcoming fun run. The 5K and 10K are timed events with advertised age brackets 17–49 and 50+. District also states the general event minimum entry age is five, but the timed category rules are more restrictive: check eligibility for the chosen distance before payment.

Advertised entry fees are INR 599 for 3K, INR 699 for 5K and INR 799 for 10K. These are organiser-published prices, not a guaranteed final checkout total; applicable platform fees, live stock and any promotion must be confirmed directly. The event package describes an event T-shirt, finisher medal, e-certificate, refreshments, snacks and warm-up activities including Zumba. Awards for top finishers include trophies and Decathlon gift vouchers; detailed prize eligibility and award divisions require confirmation.

Before race morning

Participants are asked to bring valid identification; District lists Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence or passport. Pets are not permitted. Retain your ticket or confirmation and check the final organiser announcement for exact reporting point, permitted age bands, bib collection time, flag-off order and course guidance.
