Key Questions Answered
Organisers announced minor refinements to the half marathon route for safety and runner experience, while the Open 10K starting point was moved from Sansad Marg to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
The starting location was shifted away from Sansad Marg because that area witnessed massive protests against the Election Commission in the days leading up to the race.
The Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, with the 21km half marathon starting at 5:30 AM subject to government approval.
