Namma Run Chennai 2026

Namma Run Chennai 2026 brings the city's running community to Besant Nagar's Elliot's Beach promenade for an early-morning race meet spanning a 3 km walkathon, 5 km and 10 km timed fun runs, competitive chip-timed categories, and dedicated 1-2 km kids' races. Organised by Network18 in partnership with TE Sports, the event distributes roughly Rs 3 lakh in prize money across its competitive categories and layers in a festival atmosphere beyond the finish line - zumba warm-ups, live fitness demonstrations, hydration stations, finisher medals, timing-chip bibs, e-certificates and branded merchandise for every registered runner. Starting at 5:30 AM to beat the coastal heat, it draws families, first-time joggers and serious amateur runners alike to one of the neighbourhood's most recognisable public spaces.
