Is the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon Returning for Its 9th Edition on Nov 30?

Ahmedabad, Aug 18 (NationPress) The Adani Ahmedabad Marathon is gearing up for its 9th edition on November 30, with registrations having officially commenced on August 15. Hosted by Adani Sportsline, the 2025 marathon will once again kick off from the Sabarmati Riverfront, traversing through some of the city's most notable landmarks, including the Atal Bridge, Gandhi Ashram, and Ellis Bridge.

More than just a marathon, this event has evolved into a citywide cultural phenomenon. Central to its mission is the deeply meaningful theme of #Run4OurSoldiers, honoring the bravery and selfless dedication of the Indian armed forces.

This year's edition carries heightened emotional significance as Ahmedabad and the Adani family prepare to pay tribute to the remarkable contributions of our defense forces during critical moments earlier this year, when they played an essential role in safeguarding the nation.

Reflecting on the marathon's journey, Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL), stated, "It is a true honor to host the ninth edition of the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon. As we move closer to the 10-year mark, it is uplifting to see Ahmedabad's fitness culture continue to thrive. This marathon has become a beloved tradition, with thousands coming together to celebrate this running festival. Its essence lies in #Run4OurSoldiers — running alongside our courageous armed personnel, and this year, embodying the pride and gratitude of a nation that witnessed their extraordinary valor during Operation Sindoor."

The #Run4OurSoldiers initiative is what sets this event apart. It offers participants a special chance to honor our soldiers. Last year, over 3,000 defense personnel joined the run. A significant portion of the proceeds is directed towards the welfare of the armed forces.

As it nears its 10-year anniversary, the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon continues to broaden its reach. Since 2022, it has been included in the Global Marathon Event List by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS). It also earned certification from the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) in its latest edition, solidifying its status as one of India's premier running events.

The marathon features four race categories: full marathon, half marathon, 10 km run, and 5 km run — catering to participants of all ages and fitness levels. The event champions a healthy and active lifestyle while also representing a broader vision for social impact and community upliftment.
