Bangladesh had hosted its first-ever stadium-based ultra endurance event, Dhaka Stadium Run 2025, at the National Stadium.
Held from December 26 to 27, the 36-hour continuous race featured more than 350 runners, including foreign participants, competing in four categories—36, 24, 12 and 6 hours—under the slogan “Run for a Breathable Dhaka.”
Ebad Ullah won the men’s 36-hour category and set a new national record by covering 233 kilometres, while Sifat Fahmida Eti claimed the women’s title.
Winners were also crowned in the other categories across both divisions.
Organised by Coastal Ultra Bangladesh with support from the Bangladesh Athletics Federation, the event was described by officials as a landmark step for endurance sports in the country.
