Udupi Marathon

Udupi Marathon returns on 20 December 2026 in Udupi, Karnataka, with race-day activity based at Mahatma Gandhi District Stadium. The event offers four distances: 42.2K marathon, 21.1K half marathon, 10K, and 5K Fun Run, giving it a broad appeal from serious marathoners to casual runners. Official event material positions it as a scenic coastal race, with registration copy highlighting sea views, charming villages, and the spirit of Udupi, while the event rules make clear that it is staged on a managed race route with road closures and cutoffs, pointing to a road-running setup rather than trail terrain. Altogether, it comes across as a coastal city marathon with a mix of competitive and accessible race options in one of Karnataka’s best-known seaside destinations.
