About the Bengaluru Marathon

The event has become a central fixture in Bengaluru's distance-running calendar. A full marathon, half marathon, and shorter race bring a broad local field together.

Course

The city road route uses major Bengaluru corridors and long urban stretches. Turns, flyovers, and late-race traffic control can disrupt rhythm even without mountain-scale climbing.

Race-day weather

September mornings are humid and may bring monsoon rain. The early start helps, but runners should expect warmth to build and surfaces to be slick if showers arrive.
