| Its a Party Out there: |
The post race party is a special draw as the slide show of the snaps from the 17th and 18th, loads of chatter with new friends with new accomplishments, and the first free drinks by Park Inn at Civil Lines Gurgaon starting at 6pm and then the sumptuous buffet that follows - seems to look like that is one night when you don't want to drive back but just Autocall it back home! We want you safe, so that you can run another day. :-) Buy your Post Race Party Coupon for Rs 500 at the expo in case you have not yet ordered it along with your registration. Get friends and family to join and share in the special achievement and have a blast.
Book your Autocall vehicle out of the 30 at the Expo to cheer your friend or family member on. There are already 30 Autocall vehicles with photographs of different runners on them, so perhaps you can spot yourself on one, soon.
Running is the coolest thing to sweep through the streets of our country - It's a day long party which starts at 3am when the volunteers get out, hots up at 530am when the 63.3km runners start, and gets noisily cheery at around 715 am by which time the full, and half marathoners as well as the 5 and 10k runners are also on the road, and then it continues at 6pm with the post race party celebration. |

| Running Safe |
Running is a fun activity but running in a race, like engagement in any activity, also comes with attendant risks, which you should be aware of, and only then enter.
Anyone registering for a our race should make sure that he/she is medically fit and does not have any precondition - however minor it may seem to them, that would indicate that they should not run eg being on some medication, onset of a cold or flu, not yet recovered from a flu or an injury etc.
Some runs are cross country which CAN have a incidence of ankle twisting, slipping and falling.
Some runs are at altitude which require acclimatization, and also listening to your body and heart and not pushing yourself beyond a limit. Walk when tired.
Some runs are in heat and in humidity, and require regular hydration to ensure you do NOT get dehydrated or start cramping.
Some runs are in colder weather which should also require some ingestion of salty items - sports drinks or other solids or liquids to prevent cramping.
We want you to have fun and stay safe, and do your bit towards that. |
