Stride for Sustainability | IIT Bombay Half Marathon 2026
The 2026 theme

Stride for
Sustainability

Sustainability is this year's guiding theme — shaping decisions across the race, from how we hydrate runners to what happens to the kit after the finish line.

Our commitments

Four promises for the 8th Edition

01
Reducing single-use plastic
Working towards fewer plastic bottles on course, with reusable and refill options where possible.
02
Responsible waste management
Waste sorted and managed responsibly at aid stations and the finish arena.
03
Thoughtful race kit
Kit materials chosen with sustainability in mind.
04
Giving back to the campus
Exploring ways for the run to leave a lasting, positive impact on the IIT Bombay campus.
Your part

The runner's pledge

Bring a reusable bottle and use refill options on course where available.
Dispose of waste responsibly — nothing on the road, nothing in the lake.
Travel to the venue by shared transport or public transport where you can.
Reuse your race kit rather than retiring it after one morning.
Help us leave the campus better than we found it.
