About the Marathon

More Than a Marathon.
A Legacy in Motion.

The Milkha Singh Legacy Marathon 2026 honours the determination, courage and extraordinary journey of the man India remembers as The Flying Sikh.

This event brings athletes, families, students, communities and supporters together to celebrate a legacy that continues to inspire generations. Every kilometre represents discipline, resilience and the belief that no challenge is greater than the human spirit.

Participants will not only run in memory of a legend; they will run for a healthier generation and a drug-free India.

Tribute

The Spirit That
Never Stopped Running

Milkha Singh's life was shaped by struggle, discipline and an unstoppable desire to move forward. His journey became a symbol of what determination can achieve.

The Milkha Singh Legacy Marathon carries that spirit into the future. It invites every participant to push beyond personal limits, rise above challenges and inspire others through action.

Run. Remember. Be Inspired.

The Cause

Run for a Drug-Free India

Drug addiction can take away health, opportunity and hope from individuals, families and communities. This marathon encourages young people to choose fitness, discipline and purpose over addiction.

Every runner becomes part of a shared pledge:

Say no to drugs. Say yes to health, ambition and life.

Together, we can inspire a generation that runs towards its dreams, not away from its challenges.
