The 38th Pune International Marathon will take place on Sunday, December 1, promising an unforgettable experience for both international and Indian runners, as well as local spectators. The excitement in Pune is palpable, as the city's rich cultural heritage and passion for sports come to life with this prestigious event.
First held in 1983, this marathon—organised annually by the Pune International Marathon Trust on the first Sunday of December (with the exception of a few interruptions, such as during Covid-19)—has gained recognition as India's oldest "flagship" marathon. The Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) has also permanently included it in its annual calendar.
The 42.195 km full marathon will begin at 3 am from Sanas Ground, followed by the 21.0975 km half marathon at 6:30 am, and the 10 km and 5 km races at 7:15 am.
Thousands of Pune's sports enthusiasts are expected to gather at Sanas Ground to witness the spectacle.
