About KD Marathon Ahmedabad 2026

KD Amdavad Marathon is more than just a race; it's a call to action for organ donation awareness. Our mission is simple: raise awareness, inspire action, and save lives.

There's an urgent need for Organ Donors in India. Over two lakh (200,000) patients are on the waiting list for organ transplants in India. At least 20 people die each day while waiting for an organ transplant in India.

One deceased organ donor can save up to eight lives. Source: National Organ Tissue Transplant Organisation

Where the human spirit reaches the highway!

Human endurance unfolds daily in hospitals — a critical battlefield where stories of courage, resilience, and determination come alive. Every day is a celebration of life and victory, driven by meticulous planning and remarkable scientific advancements.

KD Hospital proudly celebrates this indomitable human spirit. To honour these extraordinary achievements, we present an event that truly embodies perseverance and human greatness — the KD Amdavad Marathon, now in its 4th edition

The marathon stands as one of the ultimate tests of human persistence. It is more than just a race; it is an experience that pushes the body beyond perceived limits, unlocking untapped potential within. Adding to its uniqueness, the Save A Life – 5 KM Run will be a timed run for the first time ever in Ahmedabad, offering runners a competitive yet meaningful platform that blends fitness with purpose.

This edition also introduces two iconic heritage routes —

Miracle Miles – 20 Miler (32.2 KM) and Hope Half Marathon (21.09 KM) — taking runners through the historic heart of Ahmedabad. These routes pass by the city’s celebrated heritage landmarks, offering a rare opportunity to experience endurance running amidst centuries of culture, architecture, and legacy.

At KD Hospital, our endeavour is to elevate healthcare by identifying challenges early, preventing damage, and enabling recovery — a philosophy that aligns seamlessly with the spirit of marathon running.

Join the KD Amdavad Marathon, where every step is a tribute to resilience, every mile tells a story, and every finish line celebrates the unstoppable human spirit.

Let’s run together toward a healthier, stronger tomorrow.
