17th Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon

Business heads are set to roll up for the 17th Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon on October 16th, 2022. Registration for all physical race categories: Half marathon, Open 10K, Great Delhi Run (5km), Senior Citizens’ Run (3km), and the Champions with Disability Run (3km)  will remain open until 11:59 PM on 4 October 2022 or until spots are filled, whichever is earlier.  

The Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon will continue with its tradition of encouraging corporate leaders to take up the role of pacers and motivate their colleagues to lace up and lead a healthy lifestyle.

They will fix a particular time to complete the distance and set the momentum for other participants to finish within it. Five senior business heads have already committed to the role in the 21.0975 km distance.

Rashmi Mohanty, CFO, Clix Capital said, "It'll be absolutely wonderful to run with the people of Delhi again at the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon. I ran my 10th Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon in 2019. This is the most awaited half marathon, coming after a gap of two years. People from across India come to run this because it's the fastest half marathon in the country. A lot of people take part in this to record their personal bests.”

Sunil Chainani, Management consultant and angel investor, former Board member, Fabindia said, "Corporates should encourage more people to lead a healthy lifestyle through the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon. Fit people make better employees, managers and leaders. Apart from good health, running instills discipline and focus and also develops a desire to learn and improve. It's good for corporates to encourage more and more people to take part in sport. And running is something anyone can take up anywhere.”

Karandeep Singh, Corporate Vice President, Max Life Insurance said, "We have a health club in office. We share our workouts on our WhatsApp group every morning. From the CEO to the junior most employee in the organization, everyone shares their workouts. And every person gets motivated by looking at the training regimen of other people. We also go for runs together once a month.”

Keshav Manik Thala, Director, Organic Farms said, "I have been running for the past 12 years and pacing over the last 5 years. This is the first time I will be pacing at the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon. As a pacer I look to help my co-runners achieve their goals and my best moment as a pacer came when I assisted seven runners to achieve their personal best in a marathon.”

Spaniard Alfredo Miranda, Business Head, Transport Railways, Indra Sistemas said, "I have always enjoyed pushing and motivating participants as a pacer and seeing their smiles at the finish line. Some people go too fast in the beginning and then they don't have energy in the end. So as a pacer, I will look to help participants plan their run properly at the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon.”
