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. If you are running the half marathon especially, prepare well, for running in the heat and humidity and running with some reflective strips on your T shirt and shoes and cap and arms and a light. We want you safe. This run is in very humid weather and should also require some ingestion of salty items - sports drinks or other solids or liquids to prevent cramping and dehydration. Run with the race sipper and some salt to replenish lost salts apart from fluids.
We want you to have fun and stay safe, and do your bit towards that. The runs are organised by runners for runners. Experience the thrill of a lifetime as you cross the finish line. The course is up and down, scenic and green and well supported and if it is not pouring with rain, you will be wet with your own sweat.

The Runs :
The Half Marathon and 10.55km are chip timed runs which are qualifiers for several national and international running events.
Each participant gets a racing sipper and the 10.55k and Half Marathoners get a T shirt also.
Each finisher gets a medal at the finish line. 5k finishers get their certificate at the finish and the chip timed runners get their certificates online the day after the run at http://runizen.com/
The Half Marathon remains open for 3 hours from the start and timing mats will be removed as also will all water and medical stations within 3 hours from the start.
The races are chip timed BUT:
The finishers are ranked on the basis of sequence of crossing the finish line, ie if you start late and finish 2nd even though your nett time is quicker than the first placed finisher you will be declared 2nd as that is how you finished. Your certificate will however have the nett time and position based on that.
Bib pick up will be on Sat 30th June between 9am and 230 pm at New Zealand Hostel inside Aarey colony. Block off some time for coming here – you will get to know the way to the race location, parking spots, and will also meet several other runners and make new friends, or pick up some running gear like microfibre briefs, water proof pouches, mobile phone arm bands etc. Come early to make sure you get as much info and are well rested for your big day
