Northern Marathon 2026; Festive Your Winter in North Bengal.
We started this journey back in 2024 with the Saidpur 10K, followed by Bangladesh’s signature international event—the Northern Half in 2025. After rain in 2024, hot-humid in 2025, now the Northern roads are calling again in winter…
Now it is time to go bigger.
Northern Marathon 2026 is coming on Friday, 11 December 2026.
Just like the Northern Half, we remain fully committed to maintaining international standards, always prioritizing runners’ experience, comfort, and safety. This is a World Athletics Certified course and proudly the first ever AIMS Full Member Marathon in Saidpur, setting a new benchmark for the entire region.
From 10K beginnings to a full marathon journey—we, Saidpur Runners are here to turn running into a festival. From beginners to experienced runners, Northern Marathon offers something for everyone:
The Magic Distance:
Marathon (42.195K): The Ultimate Test of Endurance
The ultimate challenge and mighty distance for a marathoner. Experience the true spirit of endurance running. By qualifying and running the Northern Marathon, earn a mark of Northern quality on your journey toward future international AIMS events.
Half Marathon (21.097K): The Passionate Chase
A strong and rewarding test for passionate runners aiming higher. A run driven by passion—conquer your goals and take your running journey to the next level.
10K & 5K: The Gateway to an Active Life
The gateway to a more active life—shorter distances that still carry the same spirit, energy, and celebration of movement.
A Running Festival of the North
Northern Marathon is more than a race—it’s a celebration. A blend of running, festivity, and community coming together in one chain. It’s not just about running; it’s about winter tourism in North Bengal, feeling the warmth, love, and hospitality of the Northern people.
