This year, the Jamshedpur Run-a-thon will be organised in four categories. While the 10-KM and 7-KM have an age limit of 19 years and above, the 5-KM will be open to children and adults aged 16 to 19 years. These three categories, competitive in nature, will have prize money attached to it.

The fourth category ‘Fun Run’, a non-competitive category (2-KM), is a new addition to Jamshedpur Run-a-thon 2022. Children and sports enthusiasts above the age of 12 years can take part in it.

The last physical edition of the Jamshedpur Run-a-thon was organised in 2019, wherein more than 4500 participants participated across 3 categories, representing 14 Indian States. In 2020 and 2021, the virtual format of the Run-a-thon was organised to ensure continuity and keep the running community engaged. The virtual Run witnessed participation of more than 3000 individuals in both the editions.
