India Virtual Marathon Run 2026-2027

India Virtual Marathon Run is a nationwide virtual challenge organised by Kakatiya Marathon Association through iFINISH. Participants can complete their selected challenge anywhere before 26 January 2027.

Flexible completion

The organiser accepts walking, running and cycling. Activities can be completed in one go or across multiple days. Evidence is submitted as a screenshot from Strava, another tracking app, a step counter or fitness tracker.

Published distance options are 1 km, 5 km, 10 km, 16 km, 21.0975 km, 42.195 km and 100 km. ARC maps all exact available selectors except 16 km, whose hidden database record is not exposed through the active distance list.

Registration and packages

The iFINISH event index shows registration from 2 October 2026 through 25 January 2027. The detailed event page says participants may complete their selected challenge any time before 26 January 2027.

Two package choices are published across the virtual event:

• INR100: e-certificate only
• INR499: event T-shirt, finisher medal and e-certificate

Cause and credibility

The organiser presents the event under the themes 'Run for Road Safety, Run for Education, Run for Health & Fitness.' iFINISH is a long-running Indian registration platform operated by Timing Technologies India Pvt. Ltd., and the same event is independently cross-listed by World Race Calendar. This supports the event identity and registration chain, but ARC has not independently audited merchandise fulfilment.

The iFINISH index displays an October event date while the detailed event page clearly allows completion through 26 January 2027. ARC therefore treats 3 October 2026 as the opening calendar anchor and 26 January 2027 as the final completion date, with the inconsistency flagged for review.
