Upcoming Marathon in Lucknow: Full List, Dates & Registration (2026-27)

The City of Nawabs has built a steady-running calendar of its own – from the long-running Lucknow Run half marathon to a synthetic-track ultra at Guru Govind Singh Sports Stadium. Whether you’re a first-time 5K runner or chasing a 21K personal best, there’s an upcoming marathon in Lucknow to fit your training plan. This list covers every confirmed race in the city from November 2026 through December 2026, pulled from each event’s official registration page so the dates, distances, and prices stay accurate as new events get added.

Each event below includes the race date, the last day to register, every distance category on offer, the starting entry price, and a direct link to sign up that opens in a new tab, so this page stays open while you register. Use the filters above the listing to narrow it down to a specific month or entry-fee range.

Since organisers keep confirming fresh details through the year, it’s worth bookmarking this page and checking back before you lock in your race calendar. Lucknow’s running community has grown well beyond a small circle of early risers. Groups like Kukrail Runners and other local running clubs train regularly at spots such as the Kukrail Reserve Forest, the Gomti Riverfront, and Janeshwar Mishra Park – all popular for their tree cover, flat paved paths, and relatively low traffic in the early morning hours.

That grassroots base is a big reason organised races here have grown steadily too: the Lucknow Run alone has gone from a modest first edition to a fixture that regularly pulls in thousands of participants each November. If you’re new to the city’s race scene, these training spots are also a good place to log your long runs before race day, since several official routes pass near or through them.
