The Kolkata Full Marathon is an annual road race in Kolkata, West Bengal, organised by NEB Sports and held in early February. The first edition was run in 2008, and the race is authorised by the Athletics Federation of India. The marathon runs alongside a half marathon, a 10K timed run and a 5K fun run. It starts and finishes at Salt Lake Stadium, and the route has passed through the Biswa Bangla Gate and the wetlands before returning to the stadium. The marathon is run as two loops: the cut-off is six hours, and the first loop must be completed within three hours. The 10K has a cut-off of 1 hour 30 minutes and the 5K of one hour. Marathon runners must be at least 18 on race day, the 10K minimum age is 14 and the 5K minimum age is 6.
