# Adani Ahmedabad Marathon gets World Athletics global listing 2026-10-05T12:31:48+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The Adani Ahmedabad Marathon has been added to the World Athletics Global Calendar, making performances at the race eligible for World Athletics Rankings. The recognition comes ahead of the marathon's 10th edition on 29 November 2026, which has grown from a few thousand runners to over 24,000 participants in the previous edition. The listing reflects the event's compliance with international standards for course measurement, race operations, medical preparedness, timing, elite athlete management and anti-doping regulations. Organiser Adani Sportsline said the milestone validates the standards built over a decade, including runner safety and timing systems. The recognition also brings Ahmedabad onto the international road-racing circuit as the city prepares to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. Sanjay Adesara, Chief Business Officer of Adani Sportsline, said the marathon is celebrated as a festival with people from every neighbourhood taking part. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets report the same core fact: the World Athletics Global Calendar listing for the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon.
