A cohesive collaboration amongst global sporting entities such as the Association of International Marathons & Distance Running (AIMS), World Athletics (WA), Global Sports Communication (GSC) along with Athletics Federation of India (AFI), and the Govt. of Karnataka, has been the hallmark of this event. Further inputs from some of these frontline bodies, has encouraged the promoters to take the call, to shift the date of this marquee sporting property.
Like many other sporting events across the globe, this is the first time in history, this prestigious event that put Bengaluru on the global map of distance running, has been postponed.
Traditionally conducted on the third Sunday of May, it will now be re-scheduled to 22nd November 2020.

Safety and precaution are paramount for the event. This re-scheduling of the Tata Consultancy Services World 10K, was imminent to regain some form of normalcy, especially for the travel and participation of our international stakeholders. The support and co-operation received from all our stakeholders, has been unparalleled. 22nd November 2020, should give us all necessary time to heal, re-energise and deliver the event with our customary zeal.”
