Ideal Mangaluru Blue Run 2026: Run for a Greener, More Sustainable Mangaluru
Mangaluru is set to host the Ideal Mangaluru Blue Run 2026 on Sunday, November 8, 2026, bringing together runners and fitness enthusiasts for a community-focused running event inspired by the spirit of Shri Rajbir Singh Ji.
The event carries the theme “Two Rivers, One Sustainable Future,” drawing attention to Mangaluru's two important rivers — the Netravati and Gurupura — while connecting running, community participation and environmental consciousness.
Participants can choose from four running categories: 21K, 10K, 5K and 3K, making the event suitable for experienced long-distance runners as well as recreational runners and participants looking for a shorter community run.
The 21K category offers a longer-distance challenge for experienced runners, while the 10K provides an intermediate-distance option. The 5K and 3K categories are designed to make participation more accessible to a wider range of runners.
The event is being presented under the Ideal Mangaluru Blue Run 2026 banner, with the event identity prominently featuring Mangaluru's rivers and the idea of moving towards a greener and more sustainable future.
A Run Inspired by Shri Rajbir Singh Ji
The event is inspired by Shri Rajbir Singh Ji, whose spirit forms an important part of the Blue Run's identity.
Rather than being positioned only as a competitive running event, the Blue Run connects physical activity with a broader message about community and sustainability.
Four Running Categories
Participants can take part in one of four distances:
- 21K – Half-marathon distance
- 10K – 10-kilometre run
- 5K – Accessible community running category
- 3K – Short-distance participation category
The different categories allow both serious runners and casual participants to take part according to their fitness level and running experience.
Two Rivers, One Sustainable Future
The theme “Two Rivers, One Sustainable Future” is central to the event.
Mangaluru is closely associated with the Netravati and Gurupura rivers, which form an important part of the region's geography, environment and identity.
Through the Blue Run, the organisers seek to connect the energy of a city-wide running event with a message of environmental responsibility and a more sustainable future.
