The much-awaited <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/photo/mumbai-marathon-2025-laces-tied-heres-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-annual-sporting-event-103697" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Tata Mumbai Marathon 2025</a>, a prestigious World Athletics Gold Label Race, is set to take place on January 19, marking its milestone 20th edition.
Renowned for attracting elite athletes from around the globe, this year's event promises fierce competition and the exciting prospect of new records.
Defending men's champion, Ethiopian <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/culture/article/tata-mumbai-marathon-2024-here-is-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-winners-of-the-19th-edition-23331052" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Hayle Lemi Berhanu</a>, is aiming for a third consecutive victory after triumphs in 2023 and 2024. Should he succeed, Berhanu would become the first athlete in the marathon's two-decade history to claim a hat-trick of wins.
On the women's side, Ethiopia's Aberash Minsewo, the 2024 champion, returns to defend her title. Minsewo, who claimed victory on her marathon debut last year, faces a strong field of competitors eager to challenge her.
The 2025 edition will also feature a top-tier roster of pacers who will guide the runners through the grueling 42.195 km course. Among the men&rsquo;s pacers are Belgium&rsquo;s Thomas de Bock (2:10:17), Netherlands&rsquo; Luck Maas (2:11:47), and Kenya's debutant Peter Kwalia Kipsirat.
For the women, pacers like Tigist Memuye Gebeyahu (2:24:23) and Veronica Njeri Maina (2:24:46) will provide crucial support in maintaining a competitive race pace.
The marathon offers an impressive prize pool of USD 390,238, with substantial rewards for the top finishers. The winners in both the men's and women's categories will receive USD 50,000, along with additional bonuses for setting new course records. The current event records are held by Hayle Lemi Berhanu (2:07:32) and Anchialem Haymanot (2:24:15), both set in 2023.
Notably, 11 male and six female athletes competing in this year's race have personal bests faster than the existing course records.
Vivek Singh, Joint Managing Director of Procam International, expressed his excitement about the upcoming race, stating, "The return of champions like Berhanu and Minsewo highlights the growing global appeal of the Tata Mumbai Marathon. This year&rsquo;s edition promises to be one of the most competitive yet."
