About The Event
Run for a Purpose. Stride for a Career.
Join us for the East Coast Chennai Monsoon Marathon 2026, an initiative powered by Chennai`s HR Community, CTACS, and presented by Shriram Foundation. This isn`t just a race - it`s a movement to turn energy into youth empowerment and employment!
Every step you take and every rupee raised directly funds Job Fairs across rural areas and Tier-2 cities (expanding on past success in Tirunelveli, Trichy, and Chennai) to connect deserving job seekers with meaningful employment opportunities.
Whether you are a seasoned runner, a corporate team, or a beginner running for a cause, come stride along the scenic coastline and create lasting social impact.
