Agra Taj Half Marathon: Race Photos & Personalised Reels for 5,000+ Runners
How North India's fastest-growing AIMS-certified marathon delivers free race photos and personalised video reels to every participant through photos.athm.in.
About the Agra Taj Half Marathon
The Agra Taj Half Marathon (ATHM), organised by the Agra Sports Foundation, is the region's biggest and fastest-growing running event. Now in its 3rd edition and AIMS certified, ATHM takes runners on a scenic route with the Taj Mahal as their backdrop, with 21.1K, 10K, and 5K categories.
Beyond the main race, ATHM runs promo runs, ethnic runs, and inauguration events throughout the year, all of which use 9Pic AI for photo delivery through their white-label portal at photos.athm.in.
The Challenge
As a young marathon with ambitions to match India's most established events, ATHM needed to deliver a world-class post-race experience from day one:
- Growing fast: From the inaugural edition to 5,000+ runners in three years, the volume of race-day photos grew rapidly.
- Year-round engagement: Promo runs and ethnic runs between main editions meant photos needed to be delivered for multiple smaller events too, not just race day.
- Memorable content for runners: Participants running past the Taj Mahal deserve more than a raw photo gallery. They want something sharable and personalised.
- Brand consistency: All photo and video content needed to sit under the ATHM brand, reinforcing the event's identity.
The Solution
ATHM adopted 9Pic AI as their photo and video platform over two years ago, deploying it under their own branded portal. Every event, from the main half marathon to promo runs, uses the same platform:
9pic BibTrack
AI bib-number recognition tags every photo to the correct runner automatically, even when bibs are partially obscured in action shots.
9pic FaceFind
Runners who can't locate their bib in photos simply take a selfie to find all their race photos instantly.
9pic Flow
Personalised race reels are auto-generated for each runner, combining their photos with the Taj Mahal backdrop into sharable highlight videos.
White-Label Portal
Everything lives at photos.athm.in, so ATHM's brand stays front and centre for every photo download, video share, and social post.

The Results

- Personalised reels drive social sharing: Runners share their highlight videos of running past the Taj Mahal, amplifying the event's brand organically.
- Year-round platform use: The same portal handles promo runs, ethnic runs, and inauguration events, keeping the community engaged between main editions.
- Two-year partnership and growing: ATHM has used 9Pic AI since their early editions, scaling from a regional event to an AIMS-certified marathon.
“9Pic AI has been part of our journey from the early days. Every runner who crosses the finish line with the Taj Mahal behind them deserves a memory they can keep and share. The platform gives us that - photos tagged automatically, personalised reels generated for every participant, all under our brand at photos.athm.in. Whether it's the main half marathon or a promo run, it just works.”
