Soak up the race-day adrenaline, bask in the electric vibes, and create epic memories. Rally your friends and family, and let's turn this marathon into a fiesta of community spirit and motivation!

Who can get involved in this?

Cheering for the runners is open to everyone! Individuals, families, and friends of participants can join in, along with corporates, retailers, and various organizations. Schools, colleges, and other institutions are encouraged to take part, as well as residential communities looking to support a good cause. Music bands, dance troupes, and performing artists can also bring their energy and talent to create a vibrant, motivating atmosphere for the runners.

Do’s and Don’ts for spectator and cheering zones:

  • To ensure a safe and smooth experience, all spectators and cheer groups must follow official race route guidelines and stay within designated cheering zones on sidewalks, as roads will be closed to the public.

  • Avoid interfering with event operations like aid stations, sponsor areas, or medical points.

  • Any signage or decorations should respect event sponsor rules and must not be placed on the road.

  • Plan your transport, keeping in mind restricted access due to road closures.

  • Cheer respectfully—avoid blocking runners, taking selfies, or physical contact unless initiated by the runner.

  • After the final runners pass, you may leave quietly. Always cooperate with police and volunteers and handle any issues calmly and constructively.

What can you do to cheer up the runners?

There are many fun and creative ways to cheer on the runners and keep their spirits high. You can clap, shout encouraging words, and bring energy with music systems, portable speakers, or even live instrument playing and singing. Dressing up in fun costumes, using props like plastic clapping hands, horns, or drums adds to the excitement. Posters—handmade or readymade—are great too, as long as they’re not on stands. Let your imagination lead the way and make your cheer zone a memorable boost for the runners!

Things you may need!

To make the most of your Cheer Zone experience, be sure to arrive early at your designated spot and come prepared. Pack refillable water bottles and snacks to enjoy with your group, turning the event into a fun picnic. Bring foldable chairs or stools for comfort, especially if you'll be standing for long periods. Don’t forget essentials like a cap, sunscreen, umbrella, and rain jacket to stay protected from the sun or unexpected rain. Lastly, ensure your phone is fully charged to capture moments and stay connected throughout the event.
