SUMMARY:Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon 2026 – 5th Edition
DESCRIPTION:The Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon 2026 is one of India’s most unique and atmospheric running events — a destination race set in the lush\, rain-soaked coffee estates of Kodagu (Coorg)\, Karnataka. Now in its 5th Edition\, this event on 6 September 2026 invites runners to experience something no city marathon can offer — running through monsoon mist\, exotic coffee plantations\, and the rolling green hills of South India’s most beloved hill station. \nOrganised by NEB Sports\, in association with Karaumbiah’s Academy for Learning and Sports (KALS) and Ashwini’s Sports Foundation (ASF)\, the Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon is more than a race — it is a running destination experience you will talk about for years. \n\nEvent Overview\nEvent: Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon 2026 — 5th Edition \nDate: 6 September 2026 \nLocation: Kodagu (Coorg)\, Karnataka\, India \nOrganised by: NEB Sports Entertainment \nIn Association with: KALS & Ashwini’s Sports Foundation (ASF) \nContact: support@nebsports.in | +91 9206265087 | +91 8150944084 \n\nRun in the Rain Through Coffee Country\nKodagu is India’s coffee capital — a land of emerald plantations\, misty hills\, ancient temples\, and a warrior culture that runs deep. Known the world over for its natural beauty and legendary hospitality\, Coorg transforms into something truly magical during the monsoon season. \nThe Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon puts you right in the middle of it. You will run through coffee estates dripping with rain\, past lush green pastoral lands\, and along roads that wind through one of the most scenic landscapes in the country.

Their events are known for meticulous organisation\, vibrant community spirit\, and a commitment to delivering an experience from start to finish — not just a race. \nAshwini’s Sports Foundation (ASF) was founded by Ashwini Nachappa — one of India’s most celebrated sprinters\, an Asian Games medalist\, and an Olympian who represented India at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Based on a 27-acre campus in Gonikoppal\, South Coorg — co-located with KALS school — ASF is a non-profit organisation dedicated to nurturing the next generation of Indian athletes. \nKALS (Karaumbiah’s Academy for Learning and Sports) is a K-12 school in Gonikoppal where academics and sport go hand-in-hand\, providing the venue and institutional support for the event. \n\nImportant Rules & Policies\nRegistration Changes No changes\, transfers\, or cancellations will be accepted 60 days or fewer before the event date. \nTransfer Fee A fee of ₹250 will be charged for any approved transfer of registration or issuance of a credit note (applicable only before the 60-day window). \nCategory Downgrade No partial refund will be issued for downgrading from one race category to another. \nRace Day Gate The gate closes 30 minutes before the flag-off time.
