About Inorbit Durgam Cheruvu 10K:

The Inorbit has worked with the Government of Telangana to launch the first edition of The Inorbit Durgam Cheruvu 10K. The run will start from Inorbit Mall which will be the holding area and will go across the Inorbit Durgam Cheruvu bridge on the way out and on the way back. In view of the Covid -19 situations all the safety measures are implemented in cooperation with the Health Authorities to ensure all participants have a safe and highly satisfactory Race experience. 

Running the Inorbit Durgam Cheruvu 10K promises to be a satisfying and safe event in the times of unlock from the Covid-19 Pandemic. The race has been designed with several Covid-19 safety measures and alletrations so that norms of mask, social distancing, sanitization are maintained without compromising on the thrill of a spectacular run.

The Race is scheduled to be held on 24th January 2021, starting from Inorbit Mall at the foot of Durgam Cheruvu Bridge and will run a 10Kms distance while going towards Jubilee Hills and KBR Park and also on the way back. The exact route will be disclosed once finalised with the authorities. The 5Km route is much shorter and will cross the bridge but turn back earlier. The exact route and distance will be disclosed as finalised by the authorities. The 10K race will have an age category and there will be no open category. In order to maintain social distancing there will be a wave start so there is no bunching  of the runners at the start point. The race will be flagged off in waves with markings and social distancing and all prizes and timings will be on Net Time and not Gun Time. It is decided to give prizes to maintain the thrill of the run. The elite category based on the timing will be flagged off first so as to maintain social distancing and avoid overtaking along the route. 

The route itself has been planned such that there is no overlapping of the runners and the breath of the route and number of runners are simulated to ensure that runners need not brush against each other in the quest for personal best timings. The 5K route takes into accounts similar considerations and they will be flagged off in waves.
