- Entry to the Half Marathon race category is only against a timing certificate, except limited places under Charity running places. However, even for this exception, submitting a latest timing certificate during Half Marathon registration secures a better start wave <<link to Startwave>> allocation on race day, based on the timing performance.
- Half Marathon entries will not be accepted under group registrations. To ensure that each bib number is accurately assigned and collected, all participants must collect their own bibs in person from the Expo. This is crucial to ensure that only the officially registered runner takes part on race day, helping prevent any risk of disqualification.
In order to collect the running number bib from the Get Active Expo - NSIC Exhibition Ground, Gate No. 6, NSIC Estate, Okhla Phase III, Okhla Industrial Estate, New Delhi – 110020 (Thursday, 9th October to Saturday, 11th October 2025), participants will need to choose their bib collection time slots. Slots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Confirmed participants residing in Delhi-NCR are requested to choose their bib collection time slots across the 9th and 10th October, allowing time slots available on 11th October for outstation participants to collect their running number bibs. - On race day, there will be Start Waves based on the timing certificate provided at the time of registration. No provision of changing the start wave at the expo will be entertained.
- Confirmed Half Marathon men and women participants will receive a Puma race day t-shirt at the Bib Collection Center within the Get Active Expo. We will try our best to accommodate the tee size selected by you. However, if unavailable, the next best available size tee will be offered. Any requests for changes in sizes/colour will not be entertained. Please note that no race day tee will be couriered to anyone pre- or post-event.
- All finishers of the Half Marathon race category will get the finisher medal post their run on race day (please collect your medal before leaving the venue; medals will not be posted to individual runners). While provisional results will be available by 5 pm on race day, timing certificates of half marathon finishers will be available for download from https://www.sportstimingsolutions.in post 21 working days from race day.
- The "Years participated" on Half Marathon running bib is exclusively assigned to Half Marathon runners who have completed the " Half Marathon " race category in any year of the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon event. Printed on the bib (e.g. 1 & running), the "Years participated" serves to recognize one's longstanding association with the event and their commitment to it. It is determined by combining the participant's first name, last name, and date of birth, the "Years participated" acknowledges their dedication. If a participant identifies an error in the "Years participated" specified in their application confirmation email, we kindly request them to contact us at vedantadelhihalfmarathon@procam.in. Please ensure that the email includes all the bib numbers associated with the participant in the Half Marathon race category, over the years. It is important to note that participants must use the same first name, last name, and date of birth to ensure accurate "Years participated" allocation. The last date to request a correction in the "Years participated" is 19th September 2025.
