- What time does the race typically start?
- To beat the Indian humidity and heat, the Full and Half Marathon categories usually flag off between 05:00 and 06:00 AM.
- Where is the BIB collection/Expo located?
- BIB distribution typically takes place 1-2 days before the race at a designated hall in Bandra West or Khar. There is strictly no race-day collection.
- Is the course flat or hilly?
- The Bandra course is relatively flat but features undulations near the Land's End area and can be challenging due to coastal wind and high humidity.
- Are roads completely closed to traffic?
- Major sections of the Bandra promenade and Sea Link access roads are cordoned off, but be aware of possible local traffic at intersections.
- Is there a bag drop facility?
- Yes, a secure bag drop is provided near the start line area at Bandra Fort. Ensure you use the clear bag provided in your marathon kit.
- How do I get to the start line early in the morning?
- Pre-booked app-based cabs (Uber/Ola) are reliable at 4:30 AM, but ensure you book at least 15 minutes ahead as demand is high on race day.
