Bengaluru, Reigning Asian champion and national record holder, Gulveer Singh will spearhead India's challenge at the 18th edition of the TCS World 10K Run Bengaluru, a World Athletics Gold Label race, on Sunday.
Gulveer heads into the race in red-hot form, having finished third at the New York City Half Marathon earlier this month, where he clocked 59:42, the best timing for any Indian half-marathon runner.
The TCS World 10K carries a total prize purse of USD 210,000, with USD 26,000 awarded to the winners in the men's and women's categories.
Gulveer, the national record holder in both the 10,000m and 5000m, enjoyed a standout 2025 season, winning both events at the Asian Athletics Championships. He also set an event record of 1:12:06 at the Tata Steel World 25K Kolkata 2025.
"The TCS World 10K Bengaluru is one of the most competitive road races in the country, and I am excited to line up this year. It will be a great opportunity to test myself again on the roads in Bengaluru," Gulveer said in a press release issued by the organisers.
Earlier in the month, organisers also announced a strong international elite line-up for the 18th edition of the race, including the likes of Harbert Kibet of Uganda, Kenya's Vincent Langat, Ethiopia's Gemechu Dida and Eritrea's Samuel Habte.
Indian elite athletes will also compete for top honours with ₹3 lakh on offer for the top finishers, with an additional ₹1 lakh awarded for setting an event record.
