It is one of the largest and most popular running event in India, with participants from different parts of India.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://marathon.auroville.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8&Itemid=6 |title=Auroville Marathon History 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111117165759/http://marathon.auroville.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8&Itemid=6 |archivedate=2011-11-17}}</ref> The event is largely publicised by word of mouth and through blogs and other social networks by runners who have run the race before.

The event is organised by Auroville Runners in association with Auroville community since 2008. Originally started to celebrate the 40 years of Auroville, the enthusiastic participation attracted many runners from other cities, and it was decided to make it an annual affair. The event is non-commercial and organised purely for the joy of running. It considers all the finishers as winners and does not award any prize money for the early finishers. That is precisely why this is not a timed run.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/puducherry/auroville-marathon-on-sunday/article6863859.ece |title=Auroville marathon on Sunday |publisher=The Hindu |date=2015-02-06 |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://thewriteperspective.wordpress.com/2009/02/21/auroville-marathon-a-run-to-remember/ |title=Auroville Marathon – A run to remember &#124; The Write Perspective |publisher=Thewriteperspective.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/tags/auroville-marathon |title=Auroville Marathon News Photos Videos |publisher=Rediff.com |date= |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Added by Delhi Runners View Events |url=http://www.delhirunners.com/events/auroville-marathon |title=Auroville Marathon |publisher=Delhi Runners |accessdate=2015-10-06 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151007042316/http://www.delhirunners.com/events/auroville-marathon |archivedate=2015-10-07}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Averil Nunes |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-5-best-marathons-in-india-2049874 |title=5 best marathons in India &#124; Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis |publisher=Dnaindia.com |date=2015-01-05 |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bangaloremirror.com/bangalore/others/They-are-running-for-a-better-life/articleshow/47461126.cms |title=They are running for a better life |publisher=Bangalore Mirror |date= |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportskeeda.com/go/auroville-marathon |title=Auroville Marathon |publisher=Sportskeeda.com |date= |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://mumbairoadrunners.com/event/auroville-marathon-2015/ |title=Auroville Marathon 2015 |publisher=MumbaiRoadRunners |date=2015-02-08 |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/puducherry/for-the-joy-of-running/article6872711.ece |title=For the joy of running |publisher=The Hindu |date=2015-02-09 |accessdate=2015-10-06}}</ref>
