Now that you have collected your running number bib, please ensure you do not misplace it – we will not issue you another one.

ARE YOU READY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT?SOME MEDICAL PRECAUTIONSWe are sure that you must have trained hard for race day. However, it's important that you do listen to your body and of course your doctor, before turning up at the start line on 17th December 2017. Most medical emergencies during the race occur in people who have not adequately trained or are unwell and push themselves on race day.

If you feel feverish, or have been vomiting, have had diarrhoea or chest pains or generally are feeling unwell, then it is unfair to you and your family to risk serious illness and become a medical emergency. Also, do not participate if you have not trained adequately for your event.

Irrespective of whatever may be your age or for how long you may have trained, we sincerely advise you to obtain a medical clearance from a registered medical practitioner/doctor allowing you to run in the event.

Please review the following questions before the Race Day:

Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor? Yes No

Yes NoDo you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?

Yes NoIn the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?

Yes NoDo you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?

Yes NoDo you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?

Yes NoHave you been suffering from any sort of virus or fever in the 2 weeks prior to race day?

Yes NoIs your doctor currently prescribing drugs for your blood pressure or heart condition?

Yes NoDo have any difficulty in breathing, especially in cold and dry conditions?

Yes NoAre you pregnant?

Yes NoAre you diabetic?

Yes NoDo you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?

If you have answered YES to any of the above questions, we strongly recommend that you seek advice from your doctor before you run the race.

The Promoter and sponsors/partners of the event will not be responsible for any injury or illness, of whatsoever nature caused on race day or thereafter as a result of your participation at the Event.

AFTER YOUR RUNThe finish of the Ananda Run is outside University of Calcutta Ground, East of Red Road, Kolkata.

Welcome the finish line with your arms wide open! Do not obscure your running bib as you cross the finish line – photographers will find it difficult to identify you. Once you cross the finish line, keep moving ahead towards Rangers Ground – please do not wait/stop near the finish area as you will come in the way of your fellow runners who would be crossing the finish line.

The finish is a secure area – you should arrange to meet your supporters only outside the holding area.

Slow FinishersThe time limit to complete the run is 60 minutes from the start time. If you cannot complete the distance by this time and are still determined to reach the finish, please keep to the footpath and stay off the road. The event crew will be stationed at Finish Line till 10:30 a.m. on race day to welcome you after your run.

Nestlé Nutrition ZoneA post event refreshment pack will be handed over to you at the Nestlé Nutrition Zone beyond the finish line. You will need to show your running number bib to our volunteers for them to handover the refreshment packet to you. A disposal bag will be given to you along with the refreshment pack; please fill any peels/packaging/leftovers in this bag and throw the bag in waste bins provided in the ground premises. Our volunteers will be able to clear the place easier and faster.
