What to expect
The biggest marathon day in the country, a short trip from Pune. Huge crowds, very early starts and a city that comes out to watch.
It is busy in every sense. Plan your travel, your stay and your start area access well in advance.
Course notes
We will add course notes once we have checked the current route on the official site. Mumbai is flat compared to our tekdis, but the humidity can make the second half feel long. Pace the first half like you mean to finish strong.
Who it suits
Runners who have trained properly for the half or the full and want the big race atmosphere. If you are newer, the Dream Run on the same day is a better start.
PRC plan
Plenty of Pune runners make this trip. Ask in the WhatsApp community who is running and which category.
Getting there from Pune
Mumbai is a short trip from Pune by road on the Mumbai Pune Expressway, or by train. Most of us travel the day before. Check the official site for start area and road closure details, since city races usually start very early.
Travel and stay
Book a stay close to the start or near a station on the right line, so the race morning is a short ride. Rooms near big Mumbai races go early, so book once your entry is confirmed.
Before race day, read the race day checklist. Training for it? Start with your first marathon.
Who from PRC is going
Ask in the WhatsApp community. Share rides, split rooms and find someone to run the first kilometres with.
