Raipur, 16 February 2025/ Aiming to provide a dynamic platform for local talent, promote physical fitness, and showcase the breathtaking natural beauty of the region, the Abujhmad Peace Half Marathon 2025 is set to take place on March 2 in Narayanpur. With over 5,000 participants already registered, this marathon is more than just a race—it stands as a symbol of hope, unity, and the transformative power of sports to inspire change.
Abujhmad, known for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, has long been overshadowed by the fear and instability caused by Naxal activities. This marathon seeks to reshape that narrative by offering a platform where people of all backgrounds and skill levels can come together in the spirit of unity, healthy competition, and mutual understanding.
The event will feature multiple race categories, including a Half Marathon (21 km), 10 km, and 5 km, ensuring inclusivity for athletes, first-time runners, and local participants alike. Equipped with state-of-the-art timing systems, experienced pacers, medical support, and hydration stations, the marathon guarantees a professional and enriching experience for all.
“This event is a symbol of resilience and hope. By bringing people together through the universal language of sports, we aim to not only promote physical fitness but also send a strong message of peace and unity. It’s time to show the world that Abujhmad is not defined by Maoism but by the potential of its people,” said Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai.
