BENGAL DELTA HALF MARATHON 2027Climate Action Marathon | Run for Change. Act for the Future.
The Bengal Delta Half Marathon 2027, presented by Young Climate Action Network–YOUCAN and Aajker Projonmo Forum, is a youth-driven initiative that harnesses the power of sport to advance climate awareness, environmental responsibility, and sustainable development in Bangladesh.
Inspired by the ecological significance and climate vulnerability of the Bengal Delta, the initiative seeks to connect individual well-being with collective environmental responsibility. By bringing together runners, young people, and communities, the marathon aims to transform public awareness into meaningful participation in building a greener and more climate-resilient future.
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action, the event seeks to mobilize citizens, particularly young people, to engage in climate action and strengthen environmental stewardship. Its “One Runner. One Tree.” commitment, through which YOUCAN will plant one tree for every registered runner, further supports SDG 15: Life on Land, emphasizing the importance of ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation. The marathon also promotes SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being by encouraging physical activity and raising awareness of the relationship between environmental quality and human health.
The initiative will feature two race categories: a 21 KM Half Marathon and a 7.5 KM Fun Run. Through “The Missing Piece of Bangladesh,” participants will also contribute to a collective art installation assembling a map of Bangladesh, symbolizing unity and the shared responsibility of shaping a sustainable future.
More than a sporting event, the Bengal Delta Half Marathon 2027 aims to create a platform where individual action contributes to a collective vision for climate resilience, environmental sustainability, and intergenerational responsibility.
