Note: Nehru Park is a great running place, a nice mud track inside the periphery of the park, green surroundings. The run would be tough no doubt, with 18 laps of this route which has some minor elevation changes as well. Weather is expected to be warm towards the end, with estimated 15 deg C min and 30 deg C high on the day as per Delhi Tourism. Only runners who have already run a few marathons before or intending to do one soon (or have run many half marathons) are encouraged to register. We would strongly discourage someone who does not meet the above criteria from registering.

Volunteers needed: We would like to invite volunteers as well for the event, since this a group event and we actually have limited people who are available to manage this event. Your family member, friend, anyone who you think can help us out in any way would be more than welcome.
