Registration Open for Hyderabad Hi-Tech Trail Marathon

Hyderabad Runners are organizing the Hyderabad Hi-Tech Trial Marathon (H2T2M) along with the Hyderabad 10 K Foundation on August 16^th 2008.

The running categories are:

• Half Marathon 21km
• Full Marathon 42km
• Intermediate Marathon 30km

The start time for all categories is 5:30 AM.

The route is part road and part trail. The route will take you through Cyberabad , the new IT district of Hyderabad and also through some nice campuses in the corporate and the education sector. Though there may not be complete traffic stoppage, the police have agreed to regulate traffic all through the route.

Since it is a long weekend, we expect the traffic to be less and 75% of the route is through low traffic areas..

The registration fee for all categories is 400/- per person. The fee includes:

• The run and support during the run
• Dormitory accomodation from August 15^th evening to August 16^th afternoon (separate dorms for women)
• Pre race get together and dinner
• Lunch after the run

The finishers will get medals and certificates.

All runners interested have to reach the venue by August 15^th evening. If runners come in a group of a minimum of 5 people, commute from stations/airports will be arranged.

The maximum number of entries for the run is 300 and it is on a first come first serve basis. Out of these 50 entries are being kept aside for Chennai runners and their friends.

This is a runner friendly run organized by runners and will be a good event to kick-off the marathon season.
