The Tata Mumbai Marathon, since its inception in 2004, has
heralded a change that redefined the sporting landscape in India. This movement has unleased
the power of participative sport and has personified the pulse of Mumbai – a pulse that brings
us together, no matter what the circumstances…#HarDilMumbai.
The landmark 20 th edition of the Tata Mumbai Marathon is scheduled to take place on Sunday,
19 th January 2025 and will be flagged off from the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.
Procam International, promoters of Asia’s most prestigious marathon today announced that
registration for the event will commence from 14 th August 2024, at 7a.m. on
www.tatamumbaimarathon.procam.in.
Shri Chhagan Bhujbal, Hon’ble Minister, Food & Civil Supplies, Government of
Maharashtra, said “I still remember the moment 20 years ago when Tata Mumbai Marathon
started, and while the beginning was shaky, thanks to the love and support shown by the
people of Mumbai, the government, and other stakeholders, it has now come a long way to
become the festival of Mumbai, a truly endearing and resilient symbol that captures the vibrant
spirit of our city. Thus, even in 2008, when massive terror attacks stuck the city, it was this
ethos of “Never Back Down” that triumphed in the end. Lacs of people from all backgrounds
and walks of life came down to cheer the runners, a true ocean of humanity, standing united to
celebrate sports, irrespective of religion, race, age, gender, and creed.
The success of the Tata Mumbai Marathon didn’t happen in a vacuum; credit must go to the
people of Mumbai, innumerable sponsors, and other key stakeholders, including MCGM and
Mumbai Police, for truly making this marathon phenomenal and iconic. And the transformative
impact accrued from it can’t be ignored, with hundreds of crores raised for countless charities.”
Shri Rahul Narwekar, Hon’ble Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, said “It
is indeed a moment of pleasure and pride for me to be here, year after year, to attend a
function that symbolises the relentless spirit of Mumbai. The Tata Mumbai Marathon is not just
iconic; it also perfectly encapsulates the spirit of a United India and the transformative strength
of our diversity, making it a landmark occasion that everyone truly follows. It also adds an
added layer of interest to our city, long known for being India’s financial capital and a true
melting pot, defining it in more ways than one by brilliantly capturing its unparalleled dynamism
and vibrance. On that note, I’d like to congratulate Procam for making us proud by hosting the
event for more than two decades. I also humbly extend a warm welcome to all stakeholders to
Colaba, my constituency, on the 19th of January, 2025. We pledge to provide all support
possible to make this event a grand success.
Adrian Terron, Head – Brand & Marketing, Tata Sons, “The Tata Mumbai Marathon has
become a foundational event for both, the city of Mumbai and the Indian sporting calendar as
part of the broader movement of participative sport across the globe. We are excited to
continue our support for this transformative initiative that embodies the spirit of perseverance
and brings together an ever-growing community of citizens in the act of collectively celebrating
the human spirit.”
The Tata Mumbai Marathon has paved the way for a holistic approach to sports in India. From
year one, it has instilled the importance of an active lifestyle and led to the popularity of the
sport. Today, running is the fastest-growing participative sport in the country with 700 running
events and 700+ run clubs. Over the years, the event has empowered women’s participation
with 30% of the total participants being women. Moreover, its inherent inclusive nature
provided a centre stage for senior citizens and persons with disabilities to join the sport.
This World Athletics Gold Label Race provided Indian athletes an opportunity to compete with
the best in the world and win laurels for India. Besides sport, the platform has been a silver
lining for the social sector. Additionally, it has led to the development of a thriving ecosystem
around the sport contributing to the socio-economic health and environmental sustainability of
Maharashtra.
Ujjwal Mathur – SVP & Country Head – India Business, TCS, “As we celebrate the 20th
edition of the Tata Mumbai Marathon, we are inspired by its remarkable journey. What began
as a sporting event has blossomed into a powerful symbol of Mumbai’s indomitable spirit. The
marathon’s success is fuelled by the passion of its ever-growing community of runners and
fitness enthusiasts. As long-standing supporters and pioneers in running events, TCS firmly
believes in the transformative power of sports to promote health, unity, sustainability, and social

effect of which represents its true power and our collective potential to make a difference.”
