Here are some probable events in 2008:

• Apr 19th – Bangalore Midnight Marathon (tentative)
• June 8th – Ahmedabad Marathon (Udgam Charitable Trust – upto 32K)
• July 19th – The Great Tibetan Marathon
• Sept 15th – Bangalore International Marathon (tentative)
• Nov 2nd – Vodafone Delhi Half Marathon
• Nov 16th – Bangalore Ultra Marathon
• Nov 30th – Hyderabad Half Marathon
• Dec 7th – Pune International Marathon
• Dec 7th – Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon
• Jan 18th – Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (2009)
• Jan ** – Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon (2009)
  
• Feb ** – Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon (2009)

I have included Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai simply because these places are quite accessible, and have well organized runs. Singapore and Hong Kong are two of the biggest runs in Asia (besides Japan).

I am tentatively shortlisting the runs in red above for my plans. I want to add the Midnight marathon to this list, but as we know, we will never know it is going to happen till it is too late.

Here are some of the events listed on the AIMS website:

Jan 15: Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (over)

May 14: Lipton Bangalore Marathon

Sept 23: Hyderabad Midnight Marathon

Oct 15: Delhi Half Marathon

I removed the Tibetan marathon event from the list above, as looking at the event website, I doubt it is an annual event.

Forthcoming events:

• Oct 16th – Hutch Delhi Half Marathon
• Nov 19th – Hyderabad Midnight Marathon
• Dec 4th – Pune International Marathon
• Dec 11th – International Delhi Marathon
• Jan 15th – Mumbai International Marathon
• May 2006 – Bangalore International Marathon

I am planning to run my first marathon in Singapore, Dec 4th, 2005
