Fun Facts About the Route

  • The total route distance is 42.195 km (for full marathoners—halfies, take a smaller selfie stick).
  • Expect cheerful volunteers handing out water and energy drinks—think of them as the Karan-Arjun of hydration.
  • Gujarat’s spirit will keep you motivated, with dhol beats and cheers of “Jai Jai Garvi Gujarat” echoing at every corner.

Tips for a Memorable Run

  1. Majja Ni Life ( read Marathon here)!!. Very well chalked out route map with elevation and all the paraphernalia. Adani Marathon seems like a “must do” after reading your post, Bhaskar. Like a tasty ( Gujarati) masala papad with all the spice and crunch! Keep writing with all the humour – makes for a light reading too. Thank you
