About The Event
The first Mini Marathon specifically designed for rural children, using technology to identify promising sporting talent.
In rural India, structured sports events for children geared toward early talent identification are limited. The Khejuri Mini Marathon 2026 will be the first of its kind in the region, creating opportunities for children who may never have had access to organized sports programs.
Organized by Turiyo Talent Academy, an initiative of Turiyo Foundation, this event aims to maximize participation while identifying natural-born talents for sports.
