On November 9, 2008 Delhi will run once again, this time for the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon.
The Airtel Delhi Half Marathon 2008, which also comprises the Senior Citizen Run, Great Delhi Run and a Wheelchair Event, will commence from the Central Secretariat grounds at 7.30 am. Though the marathon is expected to be over by 11.30 am, the traffic advisory will hold from 7 am to 12 noon.
In the wake of the recent security threats in the Capital, there will be adequate deployment of police personnel on the entire marathon route to ensure safety of the participants and spectators. To make sure those who are not participating don't get stuck, the traffic police have come up with clear-cut guidelines. According to the advisory, certain roads in central Delhi, which fall on the route of the marathon, should be avoided on Sunday.
The 21-km-long marathon, passing through Vinay Marg, Africa Avenue, under the railway bridge, Hoshiyar Singh Marg, Aurobindo Marg, Prithviraj Road, Mansingh Road, Akbar Road, Rajpath, Janpath, Windsor Place, will return the same route to culminate at the central secretariat grounds.
