Unveiling the Inaugural Army Marathon: Running with Indian Army

Join us on an extraordinary journey through Bhopal the city of lakes, the capital city of the heart of India where history, culture, and athleticism converge in the first-ever marathon on January 2025. Organised by the Indian Army, this momentous event promises an experience like no other, as runners from across India come together to celebrate unity, resilience, and the spirit of our nation. Running with Indian Army: What sets the Marathon apart is the unique opportunity it offers to run alongside our brave soldiers. Feel the pride and camaraderie as you share the course with these real-life heroes. It's a chance to connect with the essence of our nation's strength and endurance.

The reason people want to run the marathon is because the challenge, physically, is you. The distance – how you get there – is all up to you and how hard you work. With this motto we want to make sure to bring awareness to the benefits of moving, and in this goal what better than having the Indian Army put light on how discipline in your life can lead you to the path of ever growing success.

The city of lakes, Bhopal has immersive beauty to offer while being one of the greenest cities in India, a marathon in a city so rich with the air quality is no less than blessing!

From the surreal visuals of the beautiful lakes to the cultural heritage of effervescent history, the princely city holds itself prime in the natural beauty it holds! 

We’re coming together to celebrate the city with an astounding history and preserving it for the future generations while living it in the present with the Indian Army Marathon: Bhopal edition 2025.

Bhopal isn’t just the capital city of Madhya Pradesh but it is also the economic capital, sustaining growth oriented livelihood for the youth, from the National Counsel of  Science Museums to large number of institutes of National importance, Bhopal is in itself a city to be celebrated and that’s what we together would be running the marathon for!

The will of a person is beyond any obstacle, to run a marathon is not a race with time but a unity within oneself where you but belief in yourself and lead to the finish line with the motivation of completing what you started, it is in activities like these that one meets their true innate potential, the power of their mind, in the realisation of how each step you take is the journey that’s called life, just like a marathon it’s not about the others you’re competing with it’s about keeping yourself going till you reach that finish line!
