On 1 February 2026, the second edition of the Golden Pagoda Marathon invites runners to “run with the rising sun” from the grounds of the Golden Pagoda, a landmark Buddhist temple in Namsai. Participants can choose between the full marathon, half marathon, 10 km or 5 km, all competitively timed with cut-offs that keep the event accessible: around 6 hours for the marathon, 3½ hours for the half, and shorter limits for the 10 km and 5 km. The course uses asphalt roads through town, rural stretches and riverside areas, blending flat and gently undulating sections while keeping the Golden Pagoda and lush landscapes as a constant backdrop. Designed as both a race and a cultural experience, the day features route support, local hospitality, and a strong emphasis on sustainability inspired by the event’s zero-waste ambitions. Every participant receives a dri-fit T-shirt, finisher medal, post-run breakfast and a goodie bag, making it a destination event in Northeast India.
