The bakery major had organized two legs of the race in India. The Delhi NCR (Gurugram) leg was hosted under the company's Harvest Gold bread brand. The Kochi leg of the race was run as the Modern Global Race, after the company's Modern bread brand.
Grupo Bimbo had pledged to donate 20 slices of bread for every registration received for the marathon in India. The event drew more than 20,000 overall registrations.
