Minor route change in this year’s Mumbai marathon

“Runners would need to take two u-turns after crossing Bandra-worli sea link to head to Worli. However, this year Dr Annie Besant Road is made available to us. So we have the straight path available,” said Hugh Jones, Race Director.

While runners in the Half Marathon (21.097km) would run between Worli Dairy to CSMT, the race for amateur runners and elite athletes (42.195km) would take a complete round of the route after starting from Azad Maidan at CSMT.

As many as 55 BEST bus services would ferry visitors. Facilities such as water, refresh zones, ambulances and spot doctors would also be available along the track. Around 1,400 volunteers, 500 doctors at 12 medical stations, 9,000 policemen, and 900 security guards would be on duty.
