Adani Ahmedabad Marathon
Western India's largest marathon outside Mumbai, on genuinely flat roads.
Dates, entry fees and routes change every year. This page deliberately does not publish a date — a wrong one costs somebody a race they trained six months for. Confirm the current year's date, entry window, fee and course on the official organiser's website before you plan anything around it.
What kind of race it is
A large, well-sponsored city marathon that has become the anchor event of Gujarat's running calendar, using the Sabarmati riverfront and the city's wide arterial roads.
The course
Flat. Ahmedabad has very little elevation and the riverfront sections are as flat as road running gets.
Conditions
A November date puts it after the heat and before the winter haze — comfortable early mornings with low humidity by Indian standards.
How to approach it
Flat and dry makes this a sensible target for a marathon personal best. The riverfront is exposed, so plan for sun in the closing hour.
Distances offered
Category names and cut-off times vary between editions. The event is run by Adani Sportsline / Ahmedabad Marathon organising team — find their official site for the current year's details, and cross-check against the AIMS race calendar. This page does not link to an organiser URL it cannot verify.
