ABOUT
CHENNIMALAI MARATHON

While Chennimalai has long been a destination for its cultural and spiritual significance, the Chennimalai Marathon adds a new tradition of bringing people together through the spirit of running.

The marathon is not about winning, it's about finishing. It's not about perfect, it's about effort.
