MWC Marathon 2026

MWC Marathon 2026 will be organised by MWC Runners Club in collaboration with the Mahindra World City, Chennai and MG WEB (Official Digital Partner to MWC Runners).

MWC Marathon 2026 is organised to raise awareness and support for the education and empowerment of the Girl Child through the Nanhi Kali project, which was founded in 1996 by Mr Anand Mahindra to empower underprivileged girls through holistic education.

MWC Marathon in the past happened in 2017, 2018 and 2019 (2019’s Marathon got rescheduled to 2020 due to the cyclone). The event takes place inside the Mahindra World City, where the route is surrounded by lush green and lake with the peaceful surroundings and mountains covered.

The previous 3 editions are certified by AIMS and upcoming events also will be certified by AIMS to ensure MWC marathon signifies that the course has been accurately measured according to international standards, and the event is professionally organized.
