Bir Billing Marathon

Event Information

How good it is to run a marathon & trail run without caring about the distance? Such is the charm of running in the meadows, Oak and Deodar trees on both the sides of the road and feeling the clean and fresh air of Bir inside the lungs. Widely known as the world’s second-best paragliding destination, Bir hosted India’s first Paragliding World Cup in October 2015. It is also known for Tibetan refugee settlements and half a dozen monasteries making it an upcoming tourist destination.

At Bir–Billing Marathon 2026, runners will get a chance to experience the spirituality and the tranquility of Bir. There’s nothing a better way to treat one with a tandem paragliding after exploring the trails on Saturday, 18th July & road races including the 42.2kms run on Sunday, 19th July on the rolling terrain and awesome weather of Bir. Still unexplored and a haven for adventurers, thousands of outdoor sports enthusiasts are attracted to Bir every year.
