ICA International Half Marathon Colombo

Experience the ICA Half-Marathon in Colombo, a vibrant road race celebrating the Indian community and culture in Sri Lanka. You will be treated to coastal views, and urban landscapes during your run. Ideal for newcomers and seasoned athletes, the event blends competition and local culture, promoting fitness and community spirit.

Run for a cause, plant a Bodhi tree, experience a day filled with cultural celebrations and networking.

Apart from the Half Marathon, we will be also incorporating the below 5 agendas into our program.

1. Every marathon is run for a cause and our cause is “Organ Donation”. We will request participants to spread the goodness of organ donation after death, when back in their respective country. We will also provide every participant with an Organ Donation card.

2. Every overseas participant will be encouraged to plant one Bodhi tree sapling in every school in Colombo and tag those trees with their names. We feel that participants may one day return to Sri Lanka to check how tall their Bodhi Tree has grown. This gesture is similar to leaving a green footprint in Sri Lanka.

3. We will organize networking and cultural programs followed by a gala dinner at a 5-star hotel in Colombo. This interaction between members of different countries may encourage future biz possibilities.

4. Sri Lanka was voted as the No.1 tourist destination in the world by Lonely Planet, CNN, BBC etc. We encourage all our participants to explore Sri Lanka, before or after the race.

5. To mark this mega event, ICA intends to donate something meaningful & substantial to all the 367 Orphanages in Sri Lanka.
