Goa Marathon – Running for a Cause, Running for Change
The Goa Marathon is the second-longest running marathon in Goa, having proudly completed 13 successful editions. As we gear up for our 14th edition, we are preparing to bring the experience back bigger, better, and full of purpose.
This annual event is not just a run it is a movement designed to raise awareness and generate support for underprivileged children. Runners from all walks of life come together, from first-time participants to seasoned marathoners, united by the shared belief that every step can make a difference.
The Cause
All funds raised through the Goa Marathon directly support the children under the care of El Shaddai Charitable Trust, a registered non-profit organization working across Goa and other states of India. El Shaddai implements the Child Rights Act 2003/05 and serves orphans, street children, and those from socially and economically marginalized backgrounds.

The Run & the Scenic Route
The Goa Marathon route offers one of the most breathtaking running experiences in the region. The course takes runners along Goa’s iconic coastline, sweeping sea views, and refreshing early-morning breeze. Beginning near the heart of the city, runners traverse smooth, scenic roads framed by coconut palms, waterfront stretches, heritage structures, and serene open spaces making every kilometer memorable.
It’s not just a race, it’s an experience that combines fitness, community, and the natural beauty of Goa.
