Ambuja and ACC gear up for Adani Ahmedabad Marathon

Adani Sportsline has announced that Ambuja Cements and ACC, both part of the Adani Group’s cement and building materials portfolio, will be the principal sponsors for the 8th edition of the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon. The event is scheduled to take place on November 24, 2024, and will be held at the Sabarmati Riverfront.

This sponsorship reflects a combination of strength, reliability, and legacy, aligning with the marathon’s ethos of pushing personal limits and achieving milestones. The marathon, recognised by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races, offers four race categories: the full marathon (42.195 km), the half marathon (21.097 km), the 10 km run, and the 5 km run.

The event will start and finish at the scenic Sabarmati Riverfront, with the Bib Expo held at the Sabarmati Riverfront Sports Park, which features advanced sporting facilities. The marathon course, introduced last year, covers various iconic city landmarks including the Atal Bridge, Gandhi Ashram, and Ellis Bridge.

Since its inception in 2017, the marathon has grown significantly, with the seventh edition attracting over 22,000 participants. The partnership between Adani Sportsline, Ambuja Cements, and ACC underscores a shared commitment to community health and development.

Mr. Ajay Kapur, CEO – Cement Business, Adani Group, said, “We are pleased to announce our association with the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon. This collaboration reflects our shared values of resilience, sustainability, and community empowerment. Just as our innovative construction solutions aim to build a stronger, more sustainable India, the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon inspires individuals to push their limits and cultivate a healthier, more united nation. Sports play a pivotal role in nation-building by promoting teamwork, dedication, and a spirit of perseverance. Together, we are going beyond constructing buildings and contributing to the foundation of a robust and vibrant society."

The Adani Ahmedabad Marathon also features the "#Run4OurSoldiers" campaign, honouring India’s armed forces. This campaign has seen substantial participation from defence personnel and contributes a significant portion of the proceeds to their welfare.
