Armed Forces Flag Day Run – Darjeeling 2026

The Armed Forces Flag Day Run 2026 is an inspiring fundraising event organized by the Zila Sainik Board, Darjeeling to honor and support veterans of the Indian Armed Forces and their families. Scheduled for Sunday, November 29, 2026, this run takes place in the picturesque surroundings of Darjeeling, offering runners a beautiful backdrop as they cover various distances.
Participants can choose from three categories: a challenging 10K route, a more manageable 5K option, and a family-friendly 3K race. The event begins at Chowrasta, also known as the Mall Square, with the first wave of runners setting off at 7:00 AM. By around 9:00 AM, all participants are expected to have crossed the finish line.
The Armed Forces Flag Day is observed annually on December 7th but this event serves as a precursor and an important part of the broader tribute series. The funds raised will go directly into supporting welfare initiatives for ex-servicemen, differently-abled soldiers, war widows, and families who have lost loved ones in service.
Registration fees are fully donated to the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund Account, ensuring that every step taken contributes positively towards a meaningful cause. All participants receive an event t-shirt, race bib, finisher medal, and refreshments upon completion of their chosen distance.
