Organizing Committee
On 19 Nov 2017, Mumbai hosted the second WNC Navy Half Marathon which proved a tremendous success and has quickly become one of Mumbai's premier marathon events. 2016's inaugural run attracted over 5000 runners while this year registrations have more than exceeded that number – even surpassing it! This year's edition has three categories for runners to participate: 21 km Aircraft Carrier Run; 10 km Destroyer Run and 5 km Frigate Run.
The Indian Navy has long promoted fitness, health and camaraderie among its citizens through this race. Their objective is to build stronger ties with Mumbai and other cities through this event, and the fifth edition is scheduled for November 2022 at Mumbai with participants enjoying an experience to remember along an historically significant route that passes some iconic precincts of South Mumbai.
Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar will open the race, while its organizing committee strives to make each edition bigger, better and stronger.
