- Sunday 11 October 2026 at 04:30 PKT.
- World Mental Health Day Run 2026.
- Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium, HSR Layout, Bengaluru.
- Event by RunnersDuniya.com.
The run for it in Bengaluru is on the next morning, Sunday 11 October, at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in HSR Layout. Reporting time is 5:00 AM. Gagner Sports is organising it and RunnersDuniya has the listing.
I am putting my name down for the 5K. Here is what I found out before doing that.
Two Dates in the Same Listing
The event page says 11 October at the HSR Layout stadium. Lower down, the description still says 4 October and Cubbon Park. That older text was clearly not updated. I am going with 11 October and HSR Layout, because that is the date and venue shown on the event itself, and I will check the registration page again a day before.
The stadium is next to Champs Basketball Academy, 19th Main Road, Sector 2, Parangi Palya, HSR Layout, 560102. If you are coming by cab or auto, give the driver the basketball academy name, it is easier to find than the stadium.
Fees and Which Run Suits Whom
- 3 Km Fun Run, Rs 649. Not timed. Walk, jog, bring children, no pressure.
- 5 Km Timed Run, Rs 899. Chip timed, so you get a proper finish time on your certificate.
- 10 Km Timed Run, Rs 1,049. Also chip timed, for people who already run in the mornings.
The extra money for 5K and 10K is for the timing. In the 3K you finish, take your medal and go for breakfast.
Everyone gets a T-shirt, a finisher medal, an e-certificate, refreshments, breakfast and snacks. So even the Rs 649 ticket covers a T-shirt and a meal.
What Is Still Not Announced
- Bib collection, meaning where and when to collect your race number.
- The exact flag-off time for the stadium. The old listing had Zumba from 5:00 to 5:30 and a 5:30 start, and I expect the same, but it is not confirmed.
- Results, timing certificates and photos.
All of this will come on the RunnersDuniya page, so save it.
My advice, reach by 4:45. Parking and bib checks at these runs always take longer than you think, and a 5:00 AM reporting time in October means it is still dark and a little cold when you arrive. Carry a light jacket you can leave in the car or with whoever came to cheer.
