NEW DELHI: Procam International on Wednesday announced the registrations for the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon (ADHM) scheduled for November 19. With a total prize money of $275,000, this year’s edition, 10th in all, is expected to witness over 34,000 participants.
The ADHM this year has received the merit of a Gold Label Race — a rare distinction from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) classifying the half marathon as one of ‘leading road races around the world’.
Keeping in mind the popularity of the Great Delhi Run and to give a fillip to the emerging runner community, for the first time, there will be a 10K timed run exclusively via charity. This Timed 10K Run is available only for participants above 15 years of age, who want to make a difference by running for charity.
The application form for charity running places will be available with the NGOs registered with the Event’s Philanthropy Partner, India Cares. Charity running places will not be available after October 13 or as soon as running places are filled, whichever is earlier.
For all the women participants, who do not have a timing certificate and are eager to join the running bandwagon, a limited number of seats have been reserved for them via charity.
To encourage young aspiring runners, within the 10K category, there are a limited number of running places reserved for applicants, between 15 and less than 18 years of age. The Charity Criteria will not be applicable to this section and these running places will be accepted on first- come-first-served basis via online registration on www.adhm.procamrunning.in.
