'Maoists' to run at Bastar marathon for unity
The New Indian Express Kannur
|March 21, 2026
ON March 22, the ‘Bastar Heritage Marathon 2026’ will unfold not merely as an athletic competition but as a living manifesto of transformation.
Among the professional runners and local enthusiasts, around 200 participants stand out—men and women who were once Maoist insurgents but who have now traded the darkness of the forest for the sunlight of the social mainstream.
The marathon begins at the historic Lal Bagh Ground in Jagdalpur (south Chhattisgarh) and stretches 42 kilometres to the mist-covered banks of the Chitrakote Falls, often cited as the “Niagara of India”.
‘Bastar Heritage Marathon’ will bring together runners from across the country, offering not only a test of endurance but also an immersion into one of India’s most culturally and ecologically diverse regions.
