With enthusiastic participants pouring in from across the country, this event is not just a local affair. The event has garnered support and participation from the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, as well as all major Central Armed Police Forces, including the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB). Each of these forces is sending formidable teams to compete in various categories of the Tawang Marathon, which will include full marathons, half-marathons, 10 km, and 5 km races.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu has wholeheartedly endorsed the landmark Tawang Marathon, setting an example by being its first registrant. This gesture underlines the government’s dedication to spotlighting Tawang as a premier hub for adventure sports and marathons, aiming to invigorate tourism in the region.
