[OFFER] SKF Goa River Marathon - Biggest Event in Town

One of the most sought-after marathons in India, The SKF Goa River Marathon (SKF GRM), is back with its 12th edition. The marathon will take place on December 11 and has a distance of 42.195 KM.

Why is the marathon such a big deal?

• The SKF Goa River Marathon's AIMS-certified route extends all the way to the scenic river backdrop, shaded trail, and busy streets. 
• It will start at the village of Chicalim and go alongside Goa's breathtakingly beautiful Zuari river. You will be running on buttery smooth roads while savoring the cool morning breeze. You will be in awe with every mile of this course as you run alongside this lovely river.
• According to National Geographic Traveller, it is listed among the top 10 marathons in the world.
• The SKF Goa River Marathon will also have pre-event runs in several Goa locations prior to the main event, along with specialized "How-to" workshops to support both beginners and experienced runners in prepping for the marathon.

A programme designed by SKF Goa River Marathon (SKF-GRM) will take you from no fitness to running 10 kilometers.

The best thing, though? The training is absolutely free.
