Course & Elevation
The Mumbai half marathon is the 21.097 km race of the Tata Mumbai Marathon, India's biggest road-running weekend, held on a Sunday in January and organised by Procam International. The half marathon is run together with the full marathon, the Open 10K, the Dream Run, a Senior Citizens' Run and a run for Champions with Disability, and in 2026 the weekend drew more than 65,000 runners across all categories. The half marathon starts at 5:00 am at the Mahim Reti Bunder Ground on Mahim Causeway and finishes at OCS Chowki near Mahalaxmi Racecourse, so it runs from north to south through the city rather than from the usual CSMT start of the marathon. In 2026 the Mumbai Coastal Road was added to the full and half marathon routes for the first time, so the course can change between editions. Entry is not open: runners must submit a qualifying timing certificate from a recognised race, or enter through a limited number of official qualifier and charity places run by United Way Mumbai, the event's philanthropy partner. Timing results and certificates are issued only to runners who finish within 3 hours 30 minutes of their start. The first Mumbai marathon event, held on 15 February 2004, already included a half marathon.
