For more motivation, here’s a little info on one of our team members:

He started running in late 2003. In Feb 2004, he forced myself to register for a 5k. He hated running when he started it. After training for two months for the first 5k in May 2004 (Heart Mini Marathon), he timed in at 22 min, 45 sec. That is 4 min, 50 sec per km.
Later that year, he ran a 10 k in 5 degree celsius weather, in 48.5 minutes. And then the running didn’t stop.  The first half marathon was the US Air Force Marathon at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton. Timed in at 1 hour, 42 minutes (4 min, 50 sec per km).  It was a tough run, but it was a phenomenal experience. The excitement of running with thousands of people. The rush of accomplishing a personal feat. And the glory of beating your fear of running or the distance. Its something to experience.

Running is great way to burn fat and lose those love handles and show that elusive six pack! Besides this, running has many health benefits.

The half marathon is a great event. Register and start training now. The Dream Run is a great way to start running for non runners.

At Fitho, we’ll create running programs customized to your needs. If you have any questions

    It is hard to find the registration section for the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon, but I did find it. Here is the link for the online registration: http://reg.adhm.indiatimes.com/marathon/registration.jsp
    They also have an off-line registration method. Refer to their website for those details.

    hi, i am DOB- 23may1983, i want to participate in half marathon. i want to know the distance and the route from where race starts and ends.

  13. Fitho on October 14th, 2008 1:41 pm

    The half marathon distance is 13.1 miles (21.097 km).
    The route for the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon. We’re all anxiously still waiting for the details on the route.
    Its quite sad on the part of the marathon organizers to not post the route.
    As a runner, I like to know the route, so I can train appropriately.
    So, you’re guess is as good as mine.

    I hope some favorable response from your will be communicated to me.

    I have visited on 06.10.2009 to Airtel Shop at Noida at Atta Chowk near Metro Rly Stn., but they said that they do not have the registration forms
