Marathon Route
The Mumbai Marathon route got an architectural marvel with the inclusion of the Bandra-World Sea Link as part of the marathon route from the year 2010. The Marathon starts and finishes at the majestic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). There is a separate start for the half marathon, the event starting at Bandra and finishing at CST, a change necessitated by the need to avoid convergence of the runners in the two categories and give the full marathon participants a clear route from start to finish.

Start Times

The Half Marathon will begin at 6.15 am from Bandra Reclamation and finish at CST, while the Full Marathon will begin at 7.25 am at CST and finish at CST.  The amateur Marathon runners will be allowed an early start of 5.40 am from CST. This will help the amateur runners get more of running time in cooler climes. It will also help them register better times as they will be racing for prize money for the first time in nine years.
