Rules and what the kit includes
First, participants must be 18 or older. Also, a government ID such as Aadhaar, PAN, a driving licence or a passport is needed for entry. However, pets are not allowed, and the venue is outdoors with standing room only.
Then there is the race kit, which includes an HRX running T-shirt, a finisher medal with an e-certificate, a high protein meal after the run and a tote bag. Samplers, socks and merchandise are also listed, so the kit is fairly generous. Because the kit is shipped to the address given at registration, runners should confirm that their details are correct.
Plan your race morning
First, work out your travel to the expressway before sunrise, since start times are early. Next, carry your ID and your confirmation. Then, leave extra time, because gates open well before the first wave.
