Adani Ahmedabad Marathon Partners with Reebok to Reveal 10th-Edition Race Jersey

Designed in collaboration with official sportswear partner Reebok, the new race kit commemorates ten years of community movement, personal achievement, and steady athletic growth across Gujarat and the wider national running ecosystem.

A Decade of Athletic Growth

From its inaugural edition to its most recent outing—which saw over 24,000 runners line up—the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon has evolved from a regional road race into a premier fixture on the Indian sports calendar. The event regularly brings together elite athletes, amateur runners, families, and casual fitness enthusiasts under a shared commitment to health and community purpose.

The landmark 10th edition will take place on November 29, 2026. As with previous editions, the race routes are certified by the Athletics Federation of India and listed on the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) Global Marathon Event List, underscoring its international standing.

Symbolism and Aesthetic Design

The 10th-edition jersey merges technical activewear design with visual storytelling. Key design features include:

Dynamic Stride Patterns: Flowing lines wrapped around the torso represent the continuous motion and rhythmic stride of runners tackling every kilometer on race day.

Emotion-Driven Color Gradient: A subtle color transition from calm blue to energetic purple and deep magenta captures the shifting emotional phases of the race—from pre-start focus, through peak exertion, to the triumph of crossing the finish line.

Patriotic Tricolour Contour: Running across the jersey is a distinctive tricolour ribbon inspired by the Indian national flag, serving as a visual link to the marathon’s central cause, #Run4OurSoldiers.

Running for a Cause: #Run4OurSoldiers

Beyond the physical challenge, the marathon serves as a platform of gratitude for the Indian Armed Forces. Through the #Run4OurSoldiers initiative, civilians and defense personnel run side by side, with a major share of event proceeds directed toward armed forces welfare programs. The tricolour design element transforms the jersey from standard race apparel into a unified symbol of national pride and collective tribute.

Leadership Perspectives

Speaking at the launch event, Sanjay Adesara, Chief Business Officer at Adani Sportsline, highlighted the communal essence of the event:

"The beauty of a marathon is that it brings everyone together. Over the last decade, the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon has grown to welcome runners from across Gujarat and the country, and that community is at the heart of the event. The jersey is an important part of that experience because people wear it with pride. We are delighted to have Reebok bring this vibrant design to life and to unveil it at Palladium Ahmedabad."

Arjun Ramamoorthy, Brand Head for Reebok India, emphasized the alignment between the sportswear icon and the expanding domestic running culture:

"Running is becoming an increasingly important part of India’s sporting culture, and a key opportunity for Reebok’s growth in the country. Our partnership with the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon is an exciting step in that journey, giving Reebok the opportunity to connect meaningfully with a highly committed, fitness-first community. With Reebok as the official jersey partner, we are not just showing up on race day; we are becoming a visible part of the runner’s journey, from the start line to the finish."

Race Day Overview

The 10th edition will flag off from its traditional starting grounds at the Sabarmati Riverfront Sports Park, guiding participants along the scenic Sabarmati Riverfront and past several of Ahmedabad’s most recognizable landmarks.
