Half Marathon registrations are now closed.

In addition to the other mandates, including minimum age criteria, being fulfilled, entry to the half marathon race category is only against a timing certificate. You must have fulfilled the criteria given below to apply for the half marathon race category. Please go through all details mentioned below and the application form before submitting your application.

I] Fastest Runner First 

1. For 2025 edition, registration in this criterion will be on a fastest runner first served basis for each of the age groups, men and women (given below in point 2). 

2. Timings of only half marathon (21.097 km), 10 km distance, 25 km distance and the marathon (42.195 km) distances conducted at an on-ground event will be considered to qualify for the half marathon race category. Timing cut-off across all age groups (as mentioned below) to apply for the half marathon category are as under:

(a) Where submitting finish time of the half marathon (21.097 km) distance: 
 

(b) Where submitting finish time of 10 km distance:

(c) Where submitting finish time of 25 km distance:

 (d) Where submitting finish time of marathon (42.195 km) distance: 

3. Applicants will get their confirmation post 10 working days of registration closure

4. Applicants can submit timing certificates of only those events wherein Race promoters/organizers need to follow the below mentioned guidelines,  for timing certificates of their races to be considered under confirmation criteria. Where any of the guidelines are not followed by a promoter/organizer, or where there are many issues/complaints relating to timing, distance or technical conduct of the race, Procam may at its sole discretion, not accept the timing certificates of such running events. Decision of Procam in this regard will be final and binding. 

i. The running event must have been conducted within the period of 18 months preceding race day (19th Jan 2025), i.e., on or after 19th July 2023.

ii. The course is measured either by an accredited World Athletics/AIMS measurer using the calibrated bicycle method https://aims-worldrunning.org/course-measurement.html OR by a local state athletic association representative using a GPS measurement device. Measurement by GPS device has been found to underestimate course length by approximately 400m over a marathon distance so the target reading for a GPS-measured marathon should be 1% more than the advertised distance, i.e., 42.62 km. Equivalent GPS device target lengths for other race distances would be: 25km - 25.25km & Half Marathon - 21.31km. The measurement report must be uploaded onto the official website of the event. The measurement report must be uploaded on the respective event’s website.

iii. All runners are compulsorily timed using the RFID technology.

a. Timing tags must have been securely pasted to the running number bibs before handing them over to the runners – timing tags must not be handed out loose to the runners.

b. In addition to the timing mats at the start and finish gates, the course should have the following minimum number of mats on the course (split points) –

• For a full marathon course (42.195 km) – at least 3 split point timing mats.
• For a 25 km course – at least 2 split point timing mats
• For a half marathon course (21.097 km) – at least 2 split point timing mats.

c. The provisional timing results are displayed on the website within 12 hours of the published close hour of the race.

d. Final race results should be available on the event website and verifiable online. Such final results must also include timings of runners recorded on the minimum number of split points as mentioned in point iii(b) above.

iv. Please note your running events cannot state verbally or in writing, expressed or implied, as an official qualifier to the Tata Mumbai Marathon/ Mumbai Marathon across any forms of communication.

v. The course must be measured by a AIMS ratified/local state athletic association representative; and the measurement report must be uploaded on the official website of the event.

vi. Adequate verifiable mechanisms are required to be put in place by the race promoter/organizer to verify that the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2025 applicant is the runner who registered and ran at the running event in concern.

vii. Runners with results that show timings of a lesser number of split points/split point timing data not available, such timing results/certificates will not be considered for the Tata Mumbai Marathon.

viii. In case it is observed that there are a substantial number of finishers with one or more timing split point missing data/data not available, Procam may at its sole discretion not accept timing certificates of such running events. The decision of Procam shall be final and binding. 

ix. The organizer/promoter to give a written declaration to Procam confirming the following–

1. The technical conduct of the race in question is being assisted by the local/state athletics federation.
2. Number of timing mats used (in addition to mats at start and finish gates) and the course map specifying locations where mats are placed (indicating kilometre point) on the course map of timed race categories.
3. The course has adequate verifiable anti-cheat mechanisms, including timings mats at split points, functional cameras at important junctions, throughout the duration of the race with footage available for verification and officials present at crucial junctions.
4. Where results of any runner/s are required to be verified individually or collectively, the race promoter/organiser agrees to share with Procam International the information of the runner/s, including gender and date of birth, as the case may be, required to complete the verification and application confirmation process.
