Running is an endurance sport and mostly the mature athletes attempt the 10K run. You might end up pushing your body out of your comfort zone and while we hope that you have been training for your run, it's advisable to take a medical test and pay attention to the advice given by your doctor. This will ensure that you do not end up with medical issues that would be unfair to you and your family.

We wish you a great run on Sunday, _____________

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Vivek Jawali,

SAFETY TIPS FOR THE RACE DAY!

• Get adequate sleep the night before the race.
• Take dinner that is rich in carbohydrates the night before the race and avoid overeating.
• Before arriving for the race, take a light snack and reach before the start time to avoid last-minute anxiety and chaos.
• Run at your own pace without getting influenced by others around you.
• It is essential to warm up before the race.
• Take 5 mins to cool down. Don't stop suddenly at the end of the race.
• Consume water or other rehydration fluids at regular intervals.
