THE EVENT
FOUNDERS RUN 2026
Founders Run takes the exact mindset that builds a company — endurance, consistency and showing up when it is uncomfortable — and points it back at the founder. The 7 KM climb from Kharghar to Parsik Hills is the startup journey made physical: a long, uphill grind finished not by sprinting, but by refusing to stop.
Hustle, Pointed Back At You
Founders spend years telling everyone else to stay disciplined and keep going when it is hard — then run their own health into the ground doing it. Founders Run flips that script.
It is a pitch-free space where founders help founders — no equity asks, no invoices. No decks, no panels, just builders sharing a hard morning together. The conversations that happen mid-climb are the kind that never occur across a networking table.
“Your startup needs stamina. So do you.”
THE CLIMB
THE ROUTE
One continuous ascent from the edge of the city to the summit — 7 kilometres of trail with the skyline behind you and the flag waiting at the top.
