The Indrayani River Cyclothon, which set a Guinness World Record in 2023 for the longest line of bicycles, will return to Moshi on Sunday, November 29, 2026. Conceived by MLA Mahesh Landge, this year’s rally will start at 6 a.m. from the PIECC Ground near the Hindubhushan Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Memorial. Participation is free, and registration is now open.
Launched to promote the clean-up and conservation of the Indrayani River, the initiative has drawn strong public participation in previous editions. In 2023, the cyclothon team broke the record then held by Germany and set a Guinness World Record in the ‘Longest Line of Bicycles (Static)’ category. More than 30,000 cyclists took part in that year’s rally.
The cyclothon held in Moshi on November 23, 2025, drew more than 51,300 cyclists and an overall attendance of around 79,000. Organisers aim to surpass previous participation records this year.
Riders can choose between 5 km and 25 km routes
Participants can choose either distance based on their ability. Each rider will receive a T-shirt, a participation medal and refreshments. Organisers have invited interested cyclists to register for free by scanning the QR code on the official poster or visiting the online registration page. https://maheshklandge.com/rivercyclothon/

“In 2023, the Pimpri-Chinchwad cyclothon earned a place in the Guinness World Records. Building on that public participation, we want to take the message of water conservation to as many households as possible this year. Choose the 5 km or 25 km ride based on your ability, register for free and join us in Moshi on November 29 to cycle for the Indrayani.”
– Mahesh Landge, BJP MLA, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune.
“Conserving the Indrayani requires public participation throughout the year. Each of us can start today by using water carefully at home and making sure waste stays out of the river. Let’s use the cyclothon to take this message to our families and neighbourhoods.”
– Dr. Nilesh Londhe, Head, Avirat Shramdaan
