The Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, as the Official Medical Partner, in close collaboration with Procam International, successfully coordinated comprehensive medical preparedness and on-ground emergency response for the Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM) 2026—a World Athletics Gold Label Race. The event witnessed participation across seven race categories with approximately 65,000 runners on course.
On-Course Medical Response
Across all Critical Aid Stations and medical points, over 2,400 on-course medical encounters were recorded during race day. The majority of runner presentations were minor and exercise-related, predominantly muscle cramps, fatigue, dehydration, and minor musculoskeletal complaints. These were managed effectively on site by trained multidisciplinary medical teams through prompt assessment, first aid, hydration, cooling measures, and physiotherapy support.
There were no Priority One (life-threatening) incidents reported on course. A structured triage system, early medical intervention, and clearly defined evacuation protocols—implemented jointly by the medical teams and promoters, Procam International, ensured runner safety throughout the race.
