Course
The 42.195 km road event uses Red Road Maidan as its venue and takes runners through Kolkata’s city streets. RFID timing records the effort, with hydration stations, traffic management and medical support along the route.
Race-day weather
Late autumn is usually drier and cooler than Kolkata’s monsoon season, but the day can still become warm. An early start helps; avoid letting a comfortable first few kilometres set an unsustainable pace.
