The Pune International Marathon is an annual marathon foot-race run in Pune, India. The first edition of the race was begun in 1983, and the 20th edition was held in 2005. It attracts many international participants, who compete with local and national runners in the distinct climate of the Indian subcontinent.
The event also organises a short celebrity run in which film personalities and national athletes participate and raise money for charitable causes.
