Award-winning designer invites public to contribute ideas for a first-of-its-kind marathon jersey, celebrating #Run4OurSoldiers
Ahmedabad, 08 October 2025: The Adani Ahmedabad Marathon (AAM), one of the city’s premier annual sporting events, has announced a unique collaboration with acclaimed designer Aaquib Wani for its 9th edition, scheduled on 30 November 2025.
In an unprecedented initiative, Adani Sportsline and Wani are inviting the public to share design ideas to co-create the official marathon jersey. Wani will curate the submissions into the final design, making the jersey not just sportswear but a symbol of collective creativity and community pride, aligned with the marathon’s signature cause, #Run4OurSoldiers.
Recognised on the Forbes 30 Under 30 (Design) list, Wani has previously designed jerseys for the Indian cricket team and official kits for India’s contingents at the Asian Games 2023 and Paris 2024 Olympics. His work spans storytelling-driven designs for cultural installations, music festivals, and sportswear.
Speaking about the collaboration, Aaquib Wani said, “Designing the official jersey for the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon is a unique and exciting opportunity. Ahmedabad is a city rich in art and craft, and I look forward to receiving ideas from creative minds across the community to craft a design that truly represents the marathon. This event is bigger than a race, with its core cause of #Run4OurSoldiers, and it’s inspiring to see how the Adani Group and its sports arm have nurtured the marathon into a movement over the past nine years. My best wishes to the organisers and all the runners participating this year.”
Since its inception in 2017, the Adani Ahmedabad Marathon has championed the cause of #Run4OurSoldiers, honoring India’s armed forces. Internationally recognized, the marathon has been part of the Global Marathon Event List by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) since 2022 and is certified by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI).
Organised entirely by Adani Sportsline, the 2025 edition will once again commence from the Sabarmati Riverfront Sports Park, passing iconic landmarks such as Atal Bridge, Gandhi Ashram, and Ellis Bridge. The event will feature four race categories—full marathon, half marathon, 10 km run, and 5 km run—welcoming participants of all ages and abilities.
