Carry on another half km and you will come to another round about, continue straight for around 500m and take the 3rd lane left and go down about 400m. Navkriti Arcade is on the right and parking is in the open plot on the left.Please do not park on the road and clutter the approach - thanks.

For those coming from Delhi via the Highway - exit at IFFCO Chowk and turn left on MG Road and pass Metropolitan Mall on your left and then JMD Plaza. At Sikanderpur there is a fair amount of metro work - turn right there- you will then cross the Bristol Round about with the hotel on your right and carry on straight past Mega Mall - rest of the directions are as above

Running Safe:
Running is a fun activity but running in a race, like engagement in any activity, also comes with attendant risks, which you should be aware of, and only then enter.

Anyone registering for a our race should make sure that he/she is medically fit and does not have any precondition – however minor it may seem to them, that would indicate that they should not run eg being on some medication, onset of a cold or flu, not yet recovered from a flu or an injury etc.

Some runs are cross country which CAN have a incidence of ankle twisting, slipping and falling.
Some runs are at altitude which require acclimatization, and also listening to your body and heart and not pushing yourself beyond a limit. Walk when tired.
Some runs are in heat and in humidity, and require regular hydration to ensure you do NOT get dehydrated or start cramping.
Some runs are in colder weather which should also require some ingestion of salty items – sports drinks or other solids or liquids to prevent cramping.

We want you to have fun and stay safe, and do your bit towards that.
