Shimla Half Marathon, one of the most beautiful Half Marathons in the world is held in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh in India since 2009. The event is jointly organized by the Department of Youth Services and Sports, and Running and Living Infotainment Private Ltd. This is not a race for qualifying for the London Olympics, nor will the world stop going around if you don’t come first, so smile, enjoy yourself and cheer others on, and you will surprise yourself by how well you end up doing, once you are a bit more relaxed. The looping course is full of facilities and will have opportunities for runners to ‘run into each other and cheer each other on and stop for many photo opportunities.
