Park Prime Hotel, Durgapur

full address not confirmed

Google Maps
Stations & transport near the venue

Pay cash to auto-rickshaw or e-rickshaw ('toto') drivers for local trips, or book through a ride-hailing app (Ola, Rapido, or the local BroomBoom app) if you prefer a fixed, card-payable fare.

Getting to the start

Per prior (2026, 4th edition, held 11 Jan 2026) edition: start/finish at Gandhi Maidan, Recol Park, Durgapur, West Bengal 713216.

Durgapur has its own railway station (on the Howrah-Asansol line) serving the city generally,

but no source ties it to the marathon or states walking distance/shuttle from it to Gandhi Maidan.

Getting to the finish

Gandhi Maidan (same venue as start)

No organizer transport/parking/shuttle information found.

Route reportedly passes NIT Durgapur and Dr. B.R.

Ambedkar Stadium.

More details

Foreign runners should plan on local taxi/auto-rickshaw/ride-hailing from Durgapur Railway Station or Andal Airport (Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport) to Gandhi Maidan,

and confirm details closer to the 2027 date via the organizer.

More details

Durgapur has no metro, BRTS, or dedicated transit smart card.

South Bengal State Transport Corporation (SBSTC), headquartered in Durgapur, mainly runs intercity/regional bus routes rather than a citywide fare-card network.

Getting around the city relies on auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws ('toto'), and taxis — largely cash-based — plus app-based options for cashless, pre-quoted fares.
