IIT Guwahati’s annual techno-management fest, Techniche, is organizing the Guwahati Half Marathon on April 7 as a prelude to the annual fest which will be held later this year.
Announcing this year’s Guwahati Half Marathon, the Techniche 2024 team highlighted the theme for the half marathon – “Run for a Cleaner Tomorrow”.
The half marathon will start at 5:15 am from Karmabir Nabin Chandra Bordoloi Stadium, Sarusajai, Guwahati.
The Guwahati Half Marathon this year seeks to highlight the urgent need to address the issue of cleanliness and sanitation in Guwahati. The event will also provide a platform for participants to support the cause and make a positive impact in their communities.
The event will feature two categories:
A 6-km run, which is free for all participants, and a 21-km run with a registration fee of Rs 520.
Bib distribution will be on April 6 at Decathlon Azara in Guwahati.
Packed with numerous events, competitions, workshops, and initiatives, IIT Guwahati Techniche is an initiative by the student-led team.
“Techniche has always been a platform for creating a positive impact in the lives of everyone associated with the fest in every way. The Guwahati Half Marathon is no exception. This event is a celebration of fitness, perseverance, and human potential, and is a testament to the spirit of Techniche. By incorporating the theme of ‘Run for a Cleaner Tomorrow’, the event takes on a social dimension, encouraging participants to not only push their physical limits but also raise awareness about the issue of cleanliness in our society,” said a statement from the Techniche team.
“Techniche being a brainchild of the Northeast region, which is home to sporting legends such as Mary Kom and Mirabai Chanu, it is not only a social responsibility but also an honour for us to serve the community of Guwahati and initiate positive change in the region. This time, we push forth the bounds of social development and Run for A Cleaner Tomorrow. We anticipate generating excitement as we welcome participants from across India to Guwahati for Techniche and The Guwahati Half Marathon,” said Samyak Sharma, convener, Techniche 2024.
The News Mill is a media partner at the event.
