Continuing a unique tradition, every full marathon finisher receives two medals: a Finisher Medal for their own achievement and an Inspiration Medal. The latter is intended to be gifted by the runner to the person who motivated them to cross the finish line—a beautiful gesture that embodies the spirit of #BeBetter.
The TMM is India’s largest charity-driven sporting event. For 2026, the marathon has already surpassed ₹53.7 crore in funds raised for over 300 NGOs. This year’s philanthropy is led by a “generational shift,” with record numbers of young fundraisers and “Change Legends” like Sophie Sona Shah, the youngest legend in the event’s history.
