Marathons, Runs & Cyclothons in Surat
2 events matching right now across Surat — mostly sports (2). 1 is free.
Marathons, runs and cyclothons in and around Surat are listed below as organisers open registration. Surat does not have one fixed-date marquee race in the way Mumbai or Delhi do. Its running calendar is made up of half marathons, 10K and 5K runs, night runs and charity walkathons put on by running clubs, companies and community groups, mostly between November and February, when mornings are cool. Running groups also meet at weekends; a Founders Running Club session in the city was listed as a free event in October 2026. Runners willing to travel have a nearby option in the ROCKWOOL Bharuch Half Marathon, organised by the Bharuch Running Club, whose fifth season is on Sunday 25 October 2026 with a 5:30 am start and entry at ₹500 to ₹1,000; Bharuch is about an hour north of Surat by train. Heat and humidity are the main constraint in Surat: outside the winter months, races start before dawn. No dates for a 2026–27 full or half marathon in the city itself had been confirmed when this page was written, so treat any date you see elsewhere with caution until registration opens. Check each listing for the start point, bib collection and cut-off times.

Good to know
- Register early; popular categories close weeks before race day.
- Collect your bib on the dates the organiser announces. Most races do not hand out bibs on race morning.
- Starts are at or before sunrise, when buses are few. Arrange a lift or a cab the night before.
- Hydrate well. Surat is humid even in winter, and sweat loss is higher than the temperature suggests.
- For the Bharuch half marathon on 25 October 2026, check early-morning train timings or stay overnight.
