Where Every Step Becomes a Story
There are marathons that challenge your body.
There are destinations that touch your soul.
The OMC Puri Coastal Marathon is where both become one!
Nestled along the sacred shores of Odisha, Puri is a city unlike any other. It is a place 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.
Inspired by this extraordinary destination, the OMC Puri Coastal Marathon has been created to offer runners an experience that extends far beyond the finish line.
This is not simply about completing a distance. It is about discovering what you're capable of. It is about embracing every challenge, celebrating every milestone, and becoming part of a community brought together by courage, determination, and the love of running.
A Marathon Unlike Any Other
Every marathon has a course. The OMC Puri Coastal Marathon has a journey.
Designed to challenge and inspire in equal measure, the route takes participants through picturesque coastal roads before introducing the event's defining feature — a 5 KM run on the beach, included across every race category.
As the surface changes beneath your feet, so does the challenge. The firmness of the road gives way to the softness of the sand. Every stride demands greater balance. Every kilometre asks for greater determination.
Yet with every step, the sound of crashing waves, the refreshing ocean breeze, and the breathtaking coastline remind you exactly why this experience is unlike any other.
It is demanding. It is rewarding. And it is unforgettable.
Where Culture Meets Endurance
The OMC Puri Coastal Marathon proudly draws inspiration from the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of Puri.
Home to the revered Jagannath Temple, the city has welcomed pilgrims, travellers, and seekers for centuries. The iconic Patitapabana Bana — the sacred flag that proudly flies above the temple — symbolises unwavering faith, hope, and resilience: values that every runner carries throughout their own journey.
Just as the flag stands tall against every wind, every participant is encouraged to rise above challenges, push beyond limitations, and move forward with purpose.
Here, running becomes more than movement. It becomes a celebration of perseverance.
Every Runner Belongs Here

The OMC Puri Coastal Marathon welcomes you with open arms.
- Every participant shares the same starting line.
- Every participant writes a different story.

More Than a Medal
The finish line is only one moment. What stays with you long after the race is everything that came before it.
- The early morning training sessions.
- The sacrifices.
- The discipline.
- The friendships built along the way.
- The strangers who become your loudest supporters.
- The smiles exchanged during difficult kilometres.
- The overwhelming emotion of crossing the finish line knowing you never gave up.
These are the moments that define a runner. These are the memories that last forever.
An Experience Beyond the Race
Puri offers far more than an extraordinary marathon.
Participants and their families can immerse themselves in the city's vibrant culture, explore its renowned beaches, savour authentic Odia cuisine, witness breathtaking sunrises over the Bay of Bengal, and experience the warmth and hospitality that make Puri one of India's most cherished destinations.
This is not just a race weekend. It is an opportunity to create memories both on and off the course.
