Hi Tanvir,
Hydearabad Marathon was organized really well. It started on time. Also they had milestone marked on the road. Had kept water and electrolyte after every 2 km. Also traffic was controlled near square.
I clocked 1:38:15 in Half Marathon.
This marathon is really worth to participate again.
Cheers!

@Purushottam: I will not be going to Hyd. But expect proper organization of the run, including distance markers.

Hey Tanvir,
R u running in Hyderabad Marathon? I will be coming from Mumbai.
Just wanted to know whether there will be proper milestone after every kilometer like in Mumbai Marathon, so that one can keep track how much distance is left.

I love the name of the site. Now us runners need to clarify that it's a marathon not a 10K! (deviating from the usual — it's a 10K not a marathon).
