To All Our Esteemed Partners, Participants, and Supporters

We are honoured to communicate with each of you, not only as runners but also as the Founders of SFC Environmental Technologies. It is with great excitement that we address you about the SFC Global 10K, a race that holds special significance for all of us, and one that reflects our unwavering commitment to both the sport of running and the community of Navi Mumbai.

Our vision to deliver a World-class race that will make Navi Mumbai proud remains stronger than ever. It is with this in mind that we announce the inaugural edition of the SFC Global 10K, now scheduled to take place on 15th February, 2026.

While we had initially planned for the first race to occur in February 2025, we have made the decision to defer the event to 2026 in order to create an even more immersive and exceptional running experience for all participants. The 10K course has been meticulously charted along Palm Beach Road—a picturesque, straight, and flat stretch that offers a perfect opportunity for runners to chase their personal bests.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation for their support in launching this event. We also apologize to them for deferring the inaugural event as this is a joint effort between SFC and NMMC & the Corporation went above and beyond to assist us. Their unwavering support has strengthened our resolve to host an event that will not only showcase the city’s potential but will also set a new benchmark in road racing.

We are also extremely thankful to double Olympic Champion and World Record holder Beatrice Chebet for confirming her participation in the race and look forward to welcoming her again, in February 2026.

We have been deeply humbled by the overwhelming number of registrations we have received thus far and are equally grateful for the incredible efforts of the NGOs who have raised funds and built meaningful connections since the launch of this event. In line with our promise to deliver a world-class race experience, along with Event Managers Aryanz Sports PR & Events, we are pleased to announce the following updates:

• Full Refund for 2025 Registrants: All participants who have registered for the 2025 edition will receive a full refund, within 15 working days, and will not be charged for their participation when the inaugural race takes place in 2026.
• Support for NGOs and Fundraisers: All NGOs and fundraisers who have been part of this journey will continue to receive our unwavering support and our Philanthropy Partner, India Cares shall continue to count on your participation and funds raised for the 2026 edition.
• SFC Environmental Technologies remains committed to fostering a vibrant running community and creating a race that reflects the spirit of Navi Mumbai. We look forward to welcoming all participants, supporters, and partners in February 2026, when we come together to celebrate fitness, community, and the joy of running.

Thank you once again for your support and belief in this endeavour. We are excited for what the future holds and look forward to seeing you at the start line next year!

Warm regards,
SFC Environmental Technologies
