The 14th NMDC Hyderabad Marathon will be organised on August 23 and 24 with a total prize money of ₹45 lakh.
The country’s second-largest City marathon has drawn a record 28,000 registrations, a 10% increase from last year. The event, which now holds the World Athletics ‘Basic’ label, is said to feature a slew of international stars as well.
The marathon will take a picturesque path as always, with Hussainsagar Lake, Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge and the bio-diversity park being the highlights.
Race Director Rajesh Vetcha stated that the event is also working towards becoming carbon-neutral in the near future.
“One of the areas we have stressed this year is sustainability. With the environment being key, we have started adopting measures towards that. From simple things like giving runners the option of choosing the event t-shirt to helping with both recycling and upcycling remain key focus,” he said.
