IITK is conducting a 50K ultra on Feb 21st. Though it is a IITK alumni and family event, they have invited Delhi Runners to come to the event as well. I am planning to be there on Feb 21st, anyone else interested from the group here? Details below. BTW, this is not any tamasha run, these guys are serious, and their training sessions have been happening since atleast a couple of months in their campus, so I expect good arrangements.

IIT Kanpur Golden Jubilee (Ultra) Marathon - February 21, 2010

IIT Kanpur will celebrate its Golden Jubilee (50 years) in a unique way. We will organize many people to run 50 km on February 21, 2010. This is a lofty challenge that will be undertaken by many individuals from the greater IIT Kanpur fraternity of students, faculty, staff, families, and alumni. There are several other runs being planned. The signature 50K will also have a relay component, allowing people to form teams to complete this distance. In all, the races planned for this day are

People can run, walk, crawl to the finish line but are not allowed to use any mechanical devices. There will be several prizes given in all categories. We encourage people of all ages to participate. For the interested people, there is a Training program conducted on campus.

Hi Tanvir

I can look for 50K... it'll be nice to shift gears from full to 50K.
Do they have any cut-off times too ? If yes, plz reply with that.
Thanks a lot

I don't think they will have too aggressive cutoffs. I will check with them.

BTW, I have already talked to them and they are okay with Delhi Runners participating, so dont worry about that.

I have registered, but yet to find someone who will sponsor me (not financial), to participate in it you either have not be an alumni or someone to register you, atleast a friend.

So any IIT kanpur alumni, here is your chance to register me. :)

Clarifications and event details from the organizers:

Dear Tanvir:
Please find the answers attached.
> Prof Madhav and Vivek,
>
> I am sure that the preperations for the event are in full swing and which
> is
> something very obvious looking at the schedules your team is following
> every
> week. There are 4 or 5 people from our "Delhi Runners" group who have
> shown
> interest in taking part in the 50K. They had some questions so I am

> them down:
>
> 1. What time can we expect the event to start

6 am will be the regular start. 5 am will be the start for slow runners.

> 2. When do online registrations start, will an online payment system be
> setup


Online registrations should start by the end of December. There is no
provision for online payment, but payment can be made by check.

> 3. Will there be a cutoff for the 50K (or rather, what will be the cutoff
> time beyond which runners may not continue running if run not completed).

We will restrict it to 7 hours.

> 4. Can IITK provide any help in the logistics of putting up a) either
> somewhere in the Campus or b) recommend a suitable location not too far
> from
> the venue).

No. This will be too difficult since all the rooms on campus are booked
during that period. I will be happy to explore other options with you. I
am currently travelling. I will be back on campus on 24th and then we can
discuss more.


> 5. What sort of refreshments can we expect on the route (water, any energy
> drinks or electral, bananas, etc?)

Water, electrolyte, bananas and oranges for sure. Other things will come
up as they go.

> 6. What is the route for the run, can you share something rough by drawing
> on mapmyrun or gmap-pedometer websites? What will be the loop distance.

The route will be 5 loops on campus. It is a completely flat course.

Best of luck for the Mumbai Marathon. I would like to run in that some
time. Maybe next year.
Best,
Madhav.

All those folks from Delhi Runners who have already registered for IIT
50K, please drop me a mail confirming the same. Those who have not yet
registered but intend to do the same, please register by monday and
then drop me a mail.

Once I will get your mails, I will be sending a mail to organizers
informing them about the participation from Delhi Runners group, since
they had earlier given their permission for the same. Since this event
is open to IITK alumnis only, i would want to do a final confirmation
with the organizers once I get a confirmed list from here.

regards,
Tanvir

Okay, here's the final list of folks from here who are planning to go for the IITK 50K (Feb 21st).

1. Shailendra Kumar (50K)
2. Asha Arora (50K)
3. Tanvir Kazmi (50K)
4. Ramesh Jayaraman (50K)
5. Parveen Kumar (21K)

BTW, all the 50K aspirants above did our final long run at Chandigarh last weekend at the Chandigarh Marathon with a 42K :)

Let me know if there's anyone else. We need to work out the stay logistics pretty soon. Folks, book your tickets asap (Shatabdi is a good option both ways).
