A RACE TO REMEMBER

About Run

After the successful first edition, Freedom Bengaluru returns - stronger, bolder, and with a renewed vision.

Welcome to the Freedom Bengaluru Half Marathon 2026 (FBHM) - Season 2 of a running movement that celebrates fitness, endurance, and the relentless spirit of runners.

This year marks a significant evolution. With the introduction of the 21.1 km Half Marathon, alongside the 10K and 5K categories, FBHM steps into a more serious, competitive, and aspirational space, inviting runners of all levels to push boundaries and redefine their limits.

But FBHM is more than just distances and timings.

Beyond the race, our true commitment lies in crafting an experience that inspires, connects, and empowers. From training journeys to race-day energy, every detail is designed to reflect passion, preparation, and the strength of the running community.

Our vision goes far beyond the finish line.

We aim to create a journey that celebrates each runner’s dedication - ensuring every participant walks away with a deep sense of achievement, connection, and pride - a reward far richer than any medal.

This is not just a race - It’s a mindset

Push past comfort. Break barriers. Discover the strength within.

Dare to challenge yourself. Dare to go further.

#RunBeyondLimits

Till then, keep running.

We’ll see you at the start line.
