About CME – College of Military Engineering
The College of Military Engineering (CME), Pune is one of India’s premier military engineering institutions and a key training establishment of the Indian Army’s Corps of Engineers. It represents the proud legacy of the Sappers - the Corps of Engineers of the Indian Army, whose contribution extends from battlefield engineering and mobility support to infrastructure development, disaster response and nation-building.
For civilians, the opportunity to participate in a run inside CME is therefore much more than a race. It is a rare opportunity to experience the environment, discipline and heritage of an iconic military institution while celebrating the men and women who serve the nation.
