Loop distance: 6.79 KM

About the route:
Jahanpanah City Forest at Chirag Delhi has a 6.7 km running trail in the middle of the south Delhi. Its a geat running location, considering that the forest is surrounded by really crowded, high traffic areas- Alaknanda, Chirag Delhi, Lado Sarai, Greater Kailash-2, GK-3, GK-4, Tughlakabad Extension, Saket, etc.

Its a completely paved trail, with markers every 200 meters. The main entrance of the Jahanpanah City Forest park is opposite Don Bosco school in Alaknanda. There is a small parking lot too.

A lot of the trail is covered in thick foliage- provides a good respite from the heat. The track has some inclines and declines also. Delhi has mostly flat running tracks. Uphill parts of the track really help to build those calf muscles. And we all love running down hill :)

Even though the run is labeled as a Half Marathon series, runners can choose to run any distance, just remember that the loop is 6.79 KM, and calculate your run distance accordingly (1, 2 or 3 loops). For runners intending to run a Half Marathon, its basically 3 loops.

Registration Confirmation:
Please confirm your registration on the delhirunners.com Event page (i.e. this page, by adding yourself to the event),

Instructions: Runners will need to carry their own water and energy drinks as required. They can leave that stuff with the volunteers who will be at the starting point. Members of the Delhi Runners group Sunday Fun Club have volunteered to support this edition, thanks guys!
