SBI / Corporate Marathon Trivandrum

About this place

The SBI Green Marathon Season 6 in Trivandrum was held on December 21, 2025, at the iconic Shangumugham Beach in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, bringing together runners, fitness enthusiasts, families, students, corporate teams, and environmental advocates for one of the city's prominent community fitness events. Organized by the State Bank of India (SBI) in association with Radio Mirchi, the marathon was part of the nationwide SBI Green Marathon initiative, a campaign designed to encourage healthy lifestyles while promoting environmental sustainability and green living. The event reflected SBI's commitment to combining sports, public health, and environmental responsibility through a professionally organized running event that attracted participants from various age groups and fitness levels. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Arabian Sea, Shangumugham Beach provided an ideal venue for runners to experience a refreshing coastal route while participating in a meaningful cause. The marathon featured multiple race categories, including the 5K Run, 10K Run, and the Half Marathon (21.1K), enabling beginners, recreational runners, experienced athletes, and long-distance enthusiasts to participate according to their abilities. One of the defining features of the SBI Green Marathon was its strong emphasis on sustainability. The organizers introduced several eco-friendly initiatives, including plantable race bibs for 5K participants, allowing runners to plant their bibs after the event as part of a tree-growing initiative. Participants also received organic T-shirts produced using environmentally sustainable materials, reducing the environmental impact associated with conventional event apparel. In addition, structured waste management systems were implemented throughout the venue to ensure proper waste segregation, recycling, and responsible disposal, reinforcing the marathon's commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint. These initiatives highlighted the event's objective of demonstrating that large-scale sporting events can successfully integrate environmental responsibility without compromising participant experience. The marathon was supported by comprehensive event management, including hydration stations, medical assistance, route marshals, volunteers, timing systems, and safety arrangements to ensure a smooth and secure race experience. Beyond competition, the event encouraged community participation by inspiring individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles while becoming more conscious of sustainable practices in their daily lives. Participants included professional runners, amateur athletes, educational institutions, fitness clubs, corporate organizations, and local residents, creating a vibrant atmosphere of fitness, teamwork, and social responsibility. The nationwide SBI Green Marathon series has become one of India's recognized community running initiatives, conducted across multiple cities with the shared objective of promoting wellness and environmental awareness. The Trivandrum edition contributed to Kerala's growing road-running culture by providing an accessible platform for both competitive and recreational runners to participate in a professionally managed event. The marathon also helped raise awareness about responsible waste management, sustainable event practices, and environmental conservation through practical initiatives that encouraged participants to become active contributors to a greener future.
