- What is the typical start time for the Marathon?
- The Full Marathon usually starts at 05:00 AM to avoid the afternoon heat, followed by the Half Marathon shortly after.
- Where is the packet pickup located?
- The Race Expo and Bib collection usually take place at the Baburao Sanas Ground or a nearby indoor stadium 2-3 days before the event.
- Are there gear check facilities?
- Yes, a central baggage counter is available at the Baburao Sanas Ground, but arrive early as queues can be long.
- What is the course terrain like?
- The course is primarily flat, passing through historic parts of the city and along the river, though some sections have flyovers with mild inclines.
- Is the course closed to traffic?
- Major sections are closed or restricted, but because it's a major city marathon, expect some local vehicle presence at intersections; stay alert.
- How do I get to the start line on race morning?
- Rickshaws and Uber/Ola are available, but booking in advance or staying within walking distance (Shivajinagar/Deccan area) is highly recommended.
