Participants in all races will receive a premium quality t-shirt, finisher medal, refreshments, hydration support, and timing bibs. Additionally, there are pre-run Zumba sessions and post-race cool down activities to enhance your overall experience.
The half marathon features age categories for both men and women from 18 years upwards, while the 10 km run includes younger participants aged ten and above. Top male and female winners in each category will receive trophies as a testament to their achievements.
Safety is paramount at Chandigarh Half Marathon with medical support along the route, hydration stations every kilometer or two, clear route markings, dedicated volunteers, and timing checkpoints for accurate results.
For those interested in participating, registration must be completed beforehand; there are no on-the-spot sign-ups allowed. Participants should ensure they bring a valid photo ID to collect their bibs and follow all rules regarding the use of timing chips to avoid disqualification.
