Welcome to Hirakud International Half Marathon 2026
Hirakud Dam, the world's largest earthen dam, stands as a symbol of India's engineering excellence - driving flood control, irrigation, and clean energy while supporting millions of lives.
Powering this legacy is Coal India's Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL), the largest coal-producing subsidiary of Coal India and a fast-growing energy giant. With operations rooted in Odisha, MCL supplies the nation's energy-rich black diamond, fueling industries, infrastructure, and progress across India.
Known for its socially responsible and people-centric operations, MCL goes beyond energy - empowering communities and enabling sustainable growth.
Set against this iconic landmark, the Hirakud Half Marathon brings runners together to celebrate endurance, unity, and momentum. Aligned with the Government of India's Fit India Movement, the marathon promotes health, fitness, and active living - reinforcing the belief that a strong nation is built on healthy citizens.
More than a race, it is a tribute to the power that builds the nation and the spirit that moves it forward - one stride at a time.
