Endurance, community and spirit

These guiding principles are at the heart of all activities associated with the marathon, making it a unique event that transcends the boundaries of sport to support various social and civic causes.

Vadodara Marathon, or VM, offers a dynamic platform for local NGOs and Divyang Associations, providing them with an opportunity to increase their visibility, raise awareness, and generate much-needed funds for their causes. This aspect of the marathon amplifies the voices of these organizations and also fosters a deeper connection between the community and the essential work being done to uplift the underprivileged and differently-abled.

The marathon serves as a beacon of inspiration, bringing together people from all walks of life – ranging from seasoned athletes to first-time runners, school children to senior citizens. This diverse participation highlights the inclusive nature of VM, where every step taken is a stride towards a healthier lifestyle and a stronger community.

What truly sets the Vadodara Marathon apart is the unwavering support from the local community. Every year, the city pulses with energy as residents cheer on runners, volunteers offer their time and effort, and local businesses collaborate to ensure the event’s success. This unity and collaboration reflect the essence of Vadodara – a city that celebrates togetherness, resilience, and social responsibility.

As we gear up for the 12th edition of the Vadodara Marathon we embrace the motto “Sports, Seva, Swachchata” and recognize that each step in this journey contributes to a healthier, cleaner, and more compassionate society. The passion and determination of all participants, combined with the collective spirit of the people of Vadodara, will undoubtedly make this marathon a truly memorable and impactful experience.
