The first-ever MAHETHON 2026 is a signature sporting initiative by Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Bengaluru Campus, inspired by the city’s ethos of wellness, community, sustainability, and innovation. Designed as more than a marathon, it is a movement that positions Bengaluru on the national running map, where every step champions health, belonging and the planet. At its heart, MAHETHON is envisioned as Bengaluru’s biggest running festival. A celebration where sport meets purpose and where thousands come together to promote sustainability on an unprecedented scale. From green pledges and eco-friendly race practices to collaborative impact projects, MAHETHON turns the act of running into a collective step towards a better future.
