Around 5,000 people, including several differently-abled sports enthusiasts, from across the country participated in the fourth edition of 'Tata Steel Bhubaneswar Half Marathon' held here on Sunday.
Describing the event as "immense success" this year, Tata Steel in a statement said this is the only professional half marathon run of the city organised by the steel major in association with Odisha's Sports and Youth Services Department.
The half marathon, flagged off by Odisha Governor Ganeshi Lal, covered a distance of 21.1 km starting from Kalinga Stadium and moving on to the National Highway through Jaydev Vihar, past Khandagiri Square and returning via the same route.
This was followed by the 10 km run for women and men, and the 5 km run for girls and boys under 16 years of age.
