Chandigarh Fast Marathon

The Chandigarh Fast Marathon, set to return on February 13 and 14, 2027, offers runners an unparalleled opportunity to push their limits within the meticulously planned city of Chandigarh. Known for its flat terrain and favorable weather conditions, this race has become a haven for athletes seeking personal best performances.
In previous editions held in 2025 and 2026, a total of twenty-nine participants achieved Boston Marathon qualifying times, demonstrating the event's effectiveness as a platform to reach peak performance. The city’s supportive environment and well-structured course layout contribute significantly to runners' success stories, making Chandigarh Fast Marathon an ideal choice for serious competitors.
Registration is now open for the fourth edition, welcoming athletes who meet specific qualifying criteria: men must have completed a marathon in 4 hours or less, a half marathon under 1 hour 55 minutes, or a 10K race within 54 minutes. For women, the requirements are slightly different with marathons needing to be finished in 4 hours and 30 minutes or faster, half marathons completed in under 2 hours 10 minutes, and 10K races clocking in at less than 59 minutes.
With its strategic location and conducive conditions for high performance, the Chandigarh Fast Marathon invites runners to experience an event designed specifically with their goals in mind.
