Run Where the Ocean Meets the Divine
The OMC Puri Coastal Marathon 2026 is more than a marathon; it is an experience shaped by the spirit of Puri, the energy of the Bay of Bengal, and the determination of every runner who steps onto the course.
Set in one of India's most revered coastal destinations, the marathon invites participants to run through breathtaking seaside landscapes, embrace the rhythm of the waves, and become part of a celebration that unites fitness, culture, and community.
What sets this event apart is its Signature 5 KM Beach Run, included across every race category. As runners transition from smooth coastal roads to soft golden sands, the course becomes more than a test of endurance; it becomes a journey of resilience, adaptability, and inner strength.
Whether you're chasing a podium finish, a personal best, or your very first finish line, every step at the OMC Puri Coastal Marathon is filled with purpose, inspiration, and unforgettable memories.
Come for the run. Stay for the experience. Leave with a story you'll carry for life.
Nestled along the sacred shores of Odisha, Puri is a city where centuries-old traditions live in harmony with the endless rhythm of the ocean. Here, the sunrise carries hope, the ocean whispers resilience, and every road leads to stories waiting to be discovered.
Designed to challenge and inspire in equal measure, the route takes you through picturesque coastal roads before introducing the event's defining feature — a 5 KM run on the beach, included across every race category.
ChooseYourChallenge.CreateYourStory.
Experience the Coast Like Never Before — one course, one coastline, one unforgettable experience.
