Hyderabad Half marathon and 10K on Nov 30th

November 19, 2008

Event website: http://www.hyderabad10k.com
This is a well established event, though not yet at the level of Mumbai and Delhi as far as the number of participants go (or I guess the organization). I would say, this may be the next best event in India. In 2007 they introduced the timing chip for the first time. They [...]

This was the first time that the Chip Timing was introduced in any race in India, other than the Mumbai and Delhi runs. It was reported that about 30,000 runners participated in the [...]

Mission Accomplished : Hyderabad!

November 27, 2006

Target time: 2:04:59, Time achieved: 2:04:16
Well, I guess I managed to surprise even myself. I was on target at this pace in my practice sessions, but they were all less that 21K and I had the liberty of taking water breaks at my convenience.
