What to expect

A big, well known 10K. Ten kilometres is short enough that you can race it hard and long enough that pacing matters.

Expect a large field and a busy start, so give yourself time to settle.

Course notes

We will add course notes once we have checked the current route on the official site. In a big 10K the first kilometre is always crowded. Let it be slow and make the time up later.

Who it suits

Anyone moving up from 5K to 10K, and anyone who wants a short race with a big race feel.

PRC plan

Ask in the WhatsApp community who is going. A 10K is a great first travel race.

Getting there from Pune

Fly or take an overnight train or bus from Pune. Arrive at least a day before so the travel tiredness is out of your legs.

Travel and stay

Stay near the start. Bengaluru traffic is not something you want to gamble on at 4 AM.

Before race day, read the race day checklist. Training for it? Start with your first 10k.

Who from PRC is going

Ask in the WhatsApp community. Share rides, split rooms and find someone to run the first kilometres with.
