ABOUT BIKEATHON
Fueling the Nation’s
Passion for Cycling
Initiated by Dainik Jagran iNext, India’s favorite bilingual youth-centric daily, the Bikeathon wasn’t just born as a sporting event—it was launched as a movement.
Over the last 17 seasons, it has evolved into the most anticipated cycling rally across North and East India. We started with a simple belief: the journey to a healthier, greener, and more connected city begins with a single pedal stroke.
Today, in Season 18, we span across 12 massive cities including Kanpur, Lucknow, Varanasi, Patna, and Ranchi, bringing together thousands of professional cyclists, fitness enthusiasts, and families onto a single track.

Why We Ride
Health & Fitness
In an era of screen-time and sedentary routines, Bikeathon is a loud, vibrant call to action. We encourage citizens of all ages to adopt cycling as a fun, highly effective daily fitness habit.
Community Spirit
When the streets close for traffic and open for bicycles, magic happens. We break down societal barriers, allowing CEOs, students, and local workers to ride shoulder-to-shoulder.
Eco-Conscious Living
Every bicycle on the road is one less exhaust pipe. Bikeathon actively promotes non-motorized transport, driving awareness for cleaner air, reduced carbon footprints, and sustainable cities.
