The 11th edition of the JBG Kolkata Marathon returns as Eastern India's premier road race, conducted in accordance with the standards of World Athletics, AIMS, and AFI, while proudly supporting the Fit India Movement. This landmark edition unfolds at the iconic Red Road, Maidan, featuring the inaugural Full Marathon (42.195 KM) alongside the Half Marathon (21.1 KM), 10K, 5K, Cosplay Run, and the Special Heroes Category.

Why attend here

Late November brings Kolkata's cool, dry winter, making it ideal for a long run through the city's colonial-era streets. After the race, wander the Maidan and Victoria Memorial, and refuel with a plate of puchka from a street vendor or a hearty Bengali thali at a local eatery.
