Dehradun moves to last weekend of September

Breaking from tradition and moving the event to September’s final week accommodates a more runner-friendly environment, departing from the usual October timeline due to the Indian National Games taking place in Dehradun.

This shift also provides an amazing opportunity for participants to experience the awe-inspiring natural beauty of Dehradun first hand, amidst pleasant weather and breathtaking landscapes.

In an exciting update, the Sarmang Dehradun Marathon has been recognised as an Abbott World Marathon Majors Age Group Qualifier, opening doors for participants to qualify and compete globally. Organised by Sarmang Society in collaboration with Sarmang Adventure Tours, this esteemed event is directed by the highly respected RRCA certified race director Anil Mohan. The founder of Sarmang Adventure Tours and Secretary of Sarmang Society brings his wealth of experience and passion for running to ensure a world-class marathon experience for all participants.

Anticipating an increased turnout from defense services, we’re honored to welcome more participants from this esteemed sector. Additionally, our fervent hope for the 3rd edition is to witness a groundbreaking moment – a new course record for the Full Marathon (42.195 KM). The current record stands at an impressive 2:30:31, a testament to the incredible talent and dedication of our runners.

This event, certified by World Athletics and proud member of Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), has consistently attracted diverse international participants, celebrating athleticism, determination, and unity.

Stay tuned for further details and registration information as we prepare for another remarkable edition of the Sarmang Dehradun Marathon. Lace up your shoes and prepare for an unforgettable running experience amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Dehradun!
