  • Historical point-to-point route; separate start and finish journeys.

Race guide

Latest organizer review and edition limits

The homepage now shows August 28, 2027, but the full-marathon detail page still identifies its route and GPX as 2026. The exact next full-marathon day is therefore awaiting a consistent category-specific announcement here.

The documented 2026 route runs from People's Plaza to Gachibowli Athletic Stadium, with flyovers, Banjara Hills and the Durgam Cheruvu cable bridge. Those details explain why controlled hill effort matters; they do not confirm the 2027 course.

Save start and finish separately and check the new entry eligibility, timing-certificate requirements and transport plan. Do not shift a festival headline to Sunday by assumption or reuse the previous year's wave instructions.

FAQs

Is the Hyderabad Marathon 2027 date confirmed?

In the meantime, keep training based on the work you can currently repeat.

Start conservatively, settle into rhythm, and protect the final 10K. Use effort cues if conditions change.
