Panvel, April 17: The Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) has rescheduled the Kharghar Hill Mayor Marathon (Promo Run) to Sunday, April 19, 2026, to ensure smoother traffic management.
Event shifted to Sunday following public concerns
The marathon was initially planned for Saturday, April 18, at Central Park in Kharghar. However, as the day coincided with a working day, many residents expressed difficulty in participating.
Taking note of these concerns, Mayor Nitin Patil and Municipal Commissioner Mangesh Chitale decided to shift the event to Sunday in coordination with the traffic police.
Marathon aims to promote fitness culture
The marathon, to be organised amid the scenic Kharghar Hills, aims to promote fitness awareness and encourage a sporting culture among citizens. Civic officials said the initiative is intended to bring together fitness enthusiasts and create greater awareness about health and active living.

The event will feature two categories: a 10 km run starting at 5:45 am and a 5 km run commencing at 6:30 am. Participants from Panvel and Navi Mumbai, including professional runners and sports enthusiasts, have been urged to take part.
The 5 km route will begin at Central Park and pass through ISKCON Temple, Gram Vikas Bhavan, Murbi Metro Station, and Loknete Ramsheth Thakur School before returning to the starting point.
