Mumbai Half Marathon

Established in 2008, the Mumbai Half Marathon is now 18 years old. From its first edition in Mumbai, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in India.

The fastest time ever recorded at the Mumbai Half Marathon is 01:00:24, set by Galen Rupp in 2015. Every year, new contenders line up hoping to challenge that mark on the streets of Mumbai.

Runners come to the Mumbai Half Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Mumbai has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.

With over 45,000 finishers, race day transforms Mumbai into a celebration of human endurance. The streets fill with runners, spectators, and the electric hum of a city united by the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other. It's less a sporting event than a civic holiday.

For thousands of runners each year, the Mumbai Half Marathon is their first half marathon. The combination of a forgiving course, generous time limits, and supportive crowds has earned this race a reputation as the place where marathon journeys begin. The first-timer energy on race morning is palpable.
