Mangaluru Blue Run 2026
About the race
Mangaluru Blue Run 2026 is more than a running event. It is a movement to celebrate Mangaluru’s beautiful coastal identity and create awareness about protecting the natural resources that sustain our city.
Mangaluru is blessed with two magnificent rivers — Netravati and Gurupura. They flow through our land, support communities, nurture ecosystems and eventually meet the Arabian Sea. These rivers are not merely waterways; they are part of our heritage, our livelihood and our future. Yet, like many natural resources around us, they face growing challenges from pollution, plastic waste and irresponsible human activity.
We are also committed to making the event a zero-plastic-waste and sustainable, eco-friendly run. Because the real finish line isn't at the end of the race. It is a future where our rivers continue to flow clean, our surroundings remain green, and the next generation inherits a city they can be proud of.
So lace up. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your passion. Mangaluru Blue Run 2026 — every step for Netravati, every step for Gurupura, every step for a greener Mangaluru.
