The second edition of the Sekhon Indian Air Force Marathon 2026 has attracted more than 15,000 registered runners, according to Air Marshal S Sivakumar, Air Officer Administration. Final participation figures are still being compiled.
Sivakumar described the response in Delhi as overwhelming. The current registration figure is higher than the around 12,000 runners recorded last year, exceeding the expectations cited by the Air Force official.
Marathon held across major locations
The event was also held at major locations across India, extending beyond Delhi. Mumbai, Bengaluru, Trivandrum, Chandigarh, Guwahati and Gwalior were among the cities that hosted the run.
Each of these locations saw what Sivakumar described as a very good response. The available figures do not provide a final city-wise breakdown of registrations or participation.
The event's second edition therefore recorded a larger overall registration figure than the previous edition, while the final total remains awaited. The reported response covered both the Delhi event and the other listed locations across India.
Conclusion
The Sekhon Indian Air Force Marathon 2026 has registered more than 15,000 runners so far, compared with around 12,000 last year, with final figures still to come.
