GD Goenka Half Marathon 2026

GD Goenka Half Marathon 2026 is the inaugural chapter of a run built on heart, hope and the courage to start. Set against the serene expanse of GD Goenka University, this event reflects the GD Goenka Group’s “Thrive for Life” ethos — a belief that growth begins the moment you choose to move.

With the theme #CourageToBegin, the run celebrates first steps, fresh starts and the quiet determination that lives inside every runner. Whether you’re chasing a new milestone or simply showing up for yourself, this is your invitation to rise, run and discover what you’re capable of.

A scenic course. A spirited community.

A beginning that belongs to you.
