Celebrating Fitness, Discipline, and the Spirit of Ram

About The Marathon

Join us in February 2026 as Run for Ram returns with its 4th Edition, bringing runners from across India together in Ayodhya for a high-energy, purpose-driven marathon experience.

More than a race, Run for Ram is a celebration of fitness, discipline, and inner strength, inspired by the values represented by Shri Ram. Set against the historic routes of Ayodhya, the marathon draws inspiration from the 14-Koshi Parikrama, an age-old endurance path that has existed long before modern marathons.

This event blends sport, culture, and community, creating an inclusive platform for professional runners, fitness enthusiasts, families, and first-time participants. With multiple race categories, a nationwide outreach, and a growing movement across cities in India and beyond, Run for Ram stands as a modern marathon rooted in values, focus, and physical well-being.
