Udupi Runners Club

It all started with a group of friends running together on the streets of Udupi. While running, one thought struck — “Why don’t we have a running club in Udupi?” That spark gave birth to a small group called Twilight Runners.

Within a few months, more runners joined, the numbers grew, and in November 2023, we proudly registered ourselves as Udupi Runners Club.

The real turning point came during a cheerful party. Our treasurer raised a thought — “We’ve formed a club, but what next? We need to do something big. Let’s organize a marathon!” Though the funds in our account were very low, the treasurer stood firm with a fearless spirit: “Let’s see. We’ll make it happen — either by pooling from members or even taking a bank loan. But let’s do a marathon!”

That determination changed everything. With love from our members and the support of our beloved sponsors, we successfully hosted our debut Udupi Marathon 2024 — a grand beginning that set a benchmark for endurance and community spirit.

Udupi Runners Club is a vibrant community of passionate runners who believe in fitness, endurance, and the spirit of togetherness. Established with the vision of promoting a healthy lifestyle, the club organizes regular morning & evening runs, marathons, training sessions, and social events to encourage participation from all age groups. Our doors are always open — whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned marathoner, you’ll find encouragement, friendship, and motivation here.

Those who want to join us for regular runs can simply contact us and be part of the journey.
