Dhash Bengaluru Half Marathon 2026 - DBHM 2.0

Dhash Bengaluru Half Marathon 2026 (DBHM 2.0) returns on Sunday, 6 December 2026, from Sree Kanteerava Stadium in central Bengaluru. Powered by Bengaluru Runners and supported by Dhash Group, the second edition combines competitive running, community participation and an environmental commitment to planting trees. The proposed urban route runs through Bengaluru's central business district; final route maps and traffic diversions remain subject to the organiser's race guide.

Distances and timing

• 21.1K Half Marathon: competitive, chip-timed distance with electronic result/certificate.
• 10K: competitive, chip-timed road race with electronic result/certificate.
• 5K: non-competitive community fun run without an advertised timing-chip entitlement.

The booking platform lists 05:00 IST as an overall event start, not separately verified gun times for each distance. Participants should confirm their own assembly and start instructions with the organiser.

Registration and what is included

The organiser's 2026 registration page advertises base entry prices of INR 900 for 5K, INR 1,500 for 10K and INR 2,250 for the half marathon, excluding GST. Its live booking page has also displayed promotional discounts; the amount payable may therefore differ from these regular listed prices. Runners should rely on the total displayed at checkout. As at 25 October 2026, the organiser-linked RaceIQ event is advertising registration, with the closing policy stated as when places are filled. Another organiser-linked listing has advertised 30 November, but no unconditional closing date is confirmed: registration may shut earlier.

The advertised package includes a race T-shirt, finisher medal, on-course hydration, race photographs and post-run breakfast. Chip timing and certificates apply to the 10K and 21.1K races rather than automatically to the 5K. The event's sustainability pledge follows a 'One Runner, One Tree' initiative at the inaugural edition, with tree planting presented as part of the 2026 event commitment.

Race-day and collection guidance

The published minimum participation age is 13 years, subject to the chosen category's rules. Entrants should have photo identification and their booking confirmation available for race-pack collection. The registration terms describe authorisation procedures for someone collecting on a runner's behalf, but the 2026 bib collection location, dates and hours remain to be announced on the event's main booking page. Avoid assuming that bibs can be collected on race morning.

Competitive awards are advertised, with prize allocation and ranking rules to be confirmed against the latest official entrant instructions. Check the organiser's notices for road closures, bib collection, the exact stadium entry gate and final category flag-off times.
