Manali Marathon - 3 Edition

Manali Marathon 3.0 is going Green & with Social Impact Initiatives: Beyond The Finish Line

More than a marathon — it’s a movement.
The Manali Marathon 2025 isn’t just about miles and medals — it’s about making meaningful, lasting impact where it matters most. Nestled in India’s adventure capital, Manali is on the frontline of climate change. From declining snowfall to devastating floods, the Himalayas are sending an urgent message to the world. What happens here will eventually ripple across the country and planet — and we believe we can act together.
This is our small, powerful step.

Why This Matters
Manali Marathon’s Green & Social Initiatives aim to champion sustainability, health, and community spirit — creating visible, measurable, positive change that resonates long after race day.

Key Initiatives for 2025
Green Warriors InitiativeA youth-powered campaign where school children earn free 5K entries by collecting a sack of plastic waste from their surroundings. On race day, they run as proud ‘Green Warriors’ in special bibs and are honored on stage — nurturing a generation of eco-conscious citizens.
Tree Plantation & Adoption DriveNot a token tree planting. A serious, monitored, long-term program inviting runners, locals, tourists, and sponsors to plant and adopt trees for 2-3 years, ensuring survival and fostering a personal connection with Manali’s green future.
Philanthropy With PurposeRaising funds and awareness for NGOs and essential mountain causes — from animal welfare to education and disaster resilience. This isn’t corporate charity, it’s community-backed, sponsor-driven impact in actions.
