Do not let the bib come in contact with any kind of metal.

possible, without any baggage. Baggage counter is available for Half

to complete the run in the cut off time.

Post-Race Clean Up: It has been possible only because of our

dedicated team of volunteers who work alongside the waste workers
to pick up garbage & segregate them. If one of your passions includes
the environment, this is where you should be.
