On 22 February 2026 Kolkata celebrated the 9th IEM-UEM Kolkata Marathon. This was city’s first internationally recognised full marathon. Achieving AIMS-certified course standards, the event drew over 3000 participants including international athletes, police and military professionals competing across 42.2km, 21.1km, 10km and 5km segments.
This milestone was uniquely managed by a dedicated team of 475+ students, faculty, and alumni, showcasing extraordinary leadership and institutional spirit.
