- All the runners who opt to reduce their distance in the middle of the run, irrespective of any reason will not be considered qualified for lowered distance and ranking
- If you have made up your mind to change your distance then start your run with the chosen distance only otherwise you will not get a timing certificate.
Water Stations:
There are 8 water stations on the route i. e. 2km apart. The aid stations will have first-aid, water, energy drink, fruits and running related snacking items. Bring your own sippers in case you want to carry water. We’ll be serving water in disposable cups.
There will be Km markers and volunteers to guide you on the route and at every turn. The route is such that there is minimal chance of getting strayed off the route. Still, be careful.
Baggage & Medal Counter:
Runners may either keep their baggage in the car or deposit it at the baggage counter. If you are leaving your baggage and other stuff in the car, keep it in the dashboard or boot of the car. It should not be visible if someone is peeking into your car.
Mark your identification on the bag. Don’t leave valuable items in the bag

Points worth Noting:
- Start your run/walk only with your respective distance category.
- You can not change your race distance on race day.
- Those who fall in the “Did Not Finish (DNF)” category will not get a finisher medal and timing certificate.
- There are several confusing paths. Don’t lose focus, this is a relatively simple trail otherwise.
- Follow the wide trail paths which you would see, are regularly frequented by cyclists, runners & walkers.
- You are encouraged to carry your cell phone with you for navigation and as a safety precaution. In case of an emergency contact nearest aid station
- Keep your phone fully charged as the use of GPS while navigation will drain your battery faster
- It’s advisable to wear long socks with shorts or lowers; cushioned or trail shoes and cap
- Preferably carry a light backpack to keep water, snacks and more importantly to keep extra clothing which you may not need in later part of the run
- You will have limited connectivity inside the forest trail
