Run In Costume

RUN IN COSTUME – EXPRESS YOURSELF

Running isn’t just about speed or timings — it’s about energy, individuality, and having fun. At the TCS World 10K Bengaluru, Run In Costume is your chance to break the routine and express yourself in the most colourful way possible.

Whether your costume is playful, bold, meaningful, or just plain fun, this is where fitness meets creativity. Dress up as anything that represents you — a character you love, an idea that excites you, or something that simply makes people smile.

Bengaluru is a city known for its creativity, diversity, and vibrant spirit — and Run In Costume celebrates exactly that. From quirky and humorous to cultural and imaginative, every costume adds colour, joy, and personality to the race.

Show up, dress up, and enjoy the run — bringing your own style and energy to the streets of Bengaluru.
