After a long hiatus from running since the Mumbai marathon, I was back to running the last weekend. Started with a 8KM long run, completed at a leisurely pace of 6.17/KM. I have the target clearly set for me – 5.71/KM. Why 5.71? Well, if I do each kilometer at this pace, I will crack the Half marathon under two hours at Bangalore!
Unfortunately, this first day of running also turned out pretty bad for my friend , who had gone with me. His car got stolen from outside the park where we were running. Very sad.
HELP needed: As a I prepare for the Bangalore marathon, I need some info, and I hope those who read this might be able to help:
1. Is the registration open. Where can I get the entry forms (I live in Noida, near Delhi)?
2. Can I hope to see an online registration for the event. I doubt it.
3. Can someone provide me a bit detailed info on the Bangalore marathon route, and if there are any flyovers, and where on the route.

no news on registrations so far! there’s a long flyover on the route which one has to run over both going out (the longer part) and returning back – its about halfway on the route. apart from this at one point the road also descends under a rail bridge and you have to toil your way up the other end – Bangalore’s a pretty flat course apart from this. you will enjoy it, especially if it’s going to be a 5 AM start! last year the registration opened on the website, a couple of weeks before the event – let’s hope this year’s better!
Am based out of Blr.
BTW had sent an email to Crossover a few days back and they confirmed that registrations will be opening up in a week or two.
Thanks Rohit. BTW, where are your from?
I am very sorry for ur friend!
but whats this pace 6.71/KM
is it 6.71 mins to run a single km
you can measure it in km/h
beginners hav around 10 km/h professionals used to run with
16-19 km/h.
suggesstions for you:
1. start short fast runs in between to achieve ur target!
2. try running in sun as well, coz u don’t know what happen on race day
Best of luck!!

Hey Tanveer,
I plan on running this too.
Will fill you in if I figure this out.
The crossover site doesn’t have any info on this yet though….
