PRE-RACE INFORMATION

What is the Expo?
The Expo is a pre-race event held one day prior to the run where you can collect your Race Kit (Bib with Timing chip etc.) and connect/network with fellow runners!

Can you post/courier my Race Kit/Bib?
No. All participants must come to the Expo to collect their Race Kits/Bibs.

Can someone else collect my race kit on my behalf?
We recommend participant(s) collect their own race kit. However, if you need someone to collect on your behalf, they will have to bring a print out of your entry confirmation email and a letter/email/text from you authorizing them to collect the race kit on your behalf.

What do I need to bring to collect my race kit?
You will need a photo id (Pan or Aadhaar or Driving license etc.) to collect your race kit. If you are collecting the same on behalf of another runner, you will be required to bring an authorization letter/email/text along with a copy of their entry confirmation.

Each participant will receive a confirmation of their entry via email (also downloadable format), you are not required to print this email, but it would be a good idea to have a copy on your phone available.

If the payment has gone through, and the email confirmation has not been received, please send an email to our registration partner – [email protected] with Transaction reference number. I have made the payment, but confirmation e-mail has not yet been received! It can be due to one of two reasons:

1. There is a possibility that the confirmation e-mail is in your spam folder. You are requested to mark our mails as ‘Not Spam’.
2. Sometimes, there may be a time lag between the payment being made and the information reaching us, payment gateway delays. If the delay is more than a few hours, please send your reference number by e-mail to our registration partner ([email protected]) and we will take the necessary steps.
