About Bajaj Allianz Pune Half Marathon

Bajaj Allianz Pune Half Marathon has come into existence with the idea of wellness at its core and it aims to establish itself as a significant event on India’s running calendar. The inaugural i.e. the 2018 edition of the event will be held at Pune on Sunday, December 9. The event will be geared to ensuring a best in class experience for the participants. Participants can expect a unique atmosphere at the cultural hub of Maharashtra and also stand a chance to win accolades.

Why wellness?

Being well is the stepping stone to function successfully, and wellness has been the base for sustainable people development. Our body is designed for movement and energetic activities. It’s no surprise that fit individuals go on to live a more productive life. The saying goes that a healthy body is a temple of a healthy mind, therefore fitness leads to a healthy lifestyle as well as contributes to mental wellbeing. But unfortunately, despite this knowledge, it’s an aspect threatening the development of our world.

The advancements in technology and automation have come with its perils, significantly cutting down the laborious physical requirements of our lifestyle. A WHO report from September 2018 states that 1.4 billion adults in the world are at serious health risks due to insufficient physical activity. The numbers are likely to soar as WHO states that 81% of adolescents (aged 11 to 17 years) do not meet the recommended physical activity for health.

Our USP

Wellness has its benefits. But often it is a challenge for people to chalk out the right methodology to achieve the required. Many do not know from where to start. And then, there is another lot, fitness freaks, who love to train hard and run. Bajaj Allianz Pune Half Marathon caters to both.

The event is the culmination of the programme in its entirety. We provide our participants with a platform — to know your goals and set them, to compete and reach your destination. We have tied up with the best training company, The Run SMART Project, to provide the runners with a highly curated and personalised training programme to ensure they challenge the physical boundaries by expanding the mental perimeter. We also provide customised yoga training for the participants in synch with their objectives.

The Run

Running in India has grown over the years and so has city-based marathons in the country. The running improvements were illustrated in the country’s glory in Athletics at Jakarta, during the Asian Games 2018. Like any other marathons, the aspects of physical fitness, mental wellness, cause, charity, socialising, inspiring, etc. will also remain at the centre for Pune Half Marathon, however, there will be added focus on training as wellness is a continuous process.

Bajaj Allianz Pune Half Marathon promises to be a truly world-class event, promoting running in the city and wellness. There are three race categories — Half Marathon, the 10 km RUN (10 km) and the Family Run (6 km).

The alarming aforementioned numbers on adolescents encouraged us for The 10 km Run and the Family Run. The Family Run encourages children to participate in the running event and aims to inculcate the concept of wellness in them from a young age. Families are encouraged to come out, have fun and take back an unforgettable experience.
