Interested participants can secure their spots by visiting www.midnightmarathon.in

The theme for this year’s BMM is aptly chosen as ‘Run for Mental Wellness’, a poignant acknowledgment of the crucial role physical activity plays in mental health. RI President Gordon McInally, “As Rotary President for 2023-24, I am placing  a  special focus on  global mental health.”

Ritesh Bindal, Chairman, BMM 2023 shared, “In alignment with our 'Run for Mental Wellness' theme, we're excited to introduce the timed Rotary 5K Run, supporting both amateur and professional runners on their journey to longer distances. Therefore, to motivate all, we have introduced prize money awards in 4 age categories for both men  and women, in  the 10K Run and Half  Marathon events. We look forward to more participation from across the country”.

Gul Mohamed, Race Director, BMM 2023 added, “RBITC’s Bengaluru Midnight Marathon has received tremendous recognition since its inception and also has the distinction of being the first Marathon that happens at night. We believe that running can promote a healthier body and a happier mind, making it an essential element in our Marathon this year.”
