About the Tata Mumbai Marathon

The Mumbai Marathon is one of the largest road races in Asia and one of the best-known mass sporting events in India. The race route has traditionally taken runners through South Mumbai and along the coast, including the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, with crowds of local supporters along the way. Alongside the full marathon, the event has traditionally offered other categories such as a half marathon, a 10K and a shorter Dream Run.

The race also has a strong charity side, with many runners raising money for Indian non-profit organisations. Race categories, eligibility rules, registration windows and any qualifying times are published on the official Tata Mumbai Marathon website. Entry for some categories closes early or when places fill, so runners should check the official site well before race day.

The Tata Mumbai Marathon 2027 dates and venue

Tata Mumbai Marathon 2027 date: Sunday 17 January 2027. According to the organiser, the elite marathon starts from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), the historic railway station in South Mumbai. Start times differ by category and are set early in the morning to avoid the heat.

Runners usually need to collect their race kit from a race expo in the days before the event. The expo location, opening hours and collection rules are confirmed by the organiser, so allow at least one full day in Mumbai before the race.

How to get to Mumbai for the Tata Mumbai Marathon

Most visitors fly into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), which has many direct flights to the Gulf, Africa, Europe and Asia. Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI) is a second option, but it is further from South Mumbai.

On race morning, many roads in South Mumbai are closed, so runners should plan their journey to the start in advance. Suburban trains and taxis are common options, and hotels near CSMT allow runners to walk to the start. Check the official entry requirements for India before booking international travel.

Where to stay

For a marathon trip, staying close to the start makes race morning much easier. Fort, Colaba, Churchgate and Marine Drive are all within reach of CSMT and have a wide range of hotels. Lower Parel and Worli are good alternatives with more business hotels.

Mid-January is pleasant in Mumbai, with dry weather and cooler mornings, and the city is busy with visitors. Book rooms early and check that your hotel can offer an early breakfast or packed snack on race morning.

Planning a group trip to the Tata Mumbai Marathon

A group trip to the Tata Mumbai Marathon works well for running clubs and corporate teams. Agencies can arrange three or four nights in Mumbai, including the race expo, race day and a recovery day for sightseeing at the Gateway of India, Elephanta Caves or the markets of South Mumbai.

• Check race registration windows on the official website early, as some categories fill quickly.
• Book hotels near CSMT or in South Mumbai to simplify race-morning travel.
• Plan arrival at least two days before the race to collect kits.
• Add a recovery day after the race before flying home.
