Mumbai Marathon introduces coastal road route

“This new route will offer marathon runners a unique and scenic experience, while ensuring the safety and ease of movement for other commuters as well. The route has been planned with extensive interagency coordination to ensure efficient traffic management, robust security deployment, and seamless operations, so that Mumbai continues to function smoothly on race day.”

“By incorporating the Coastal Road into the Mumbai Marathon 2026 route, we aim to present Mumbai at its finest on a global platform.”

“As a race, over the last two decades, we have aimed to offer runners new experiences. With the inclusion of the new coastal road, the Mumbai Marathon not only captures the progress of this city but also retains part of the old route and its enduring charm.”

“The Mumbai Marathon has always reflected the spirit of the city. Introducing the Mumbai Coastal Road into the race route for the 21st edition is not only a historic milestone for the marathon but also a victory lap for the city's progress. The new route combines the city's heritage with its modern transformation, offering runners a truly world-class experience. We are truly grateful for the support of the Mumbai Police, MCGM, MSRDC and the Government of Maharashtra for their continued support and commitment to the Mumbai Marathon.”
