Mount the bike at bike Mount point only which is going to be about 40 feet from the bike rack. Be safe Biking on the highway. Points where you need to be supremely careful are Hinjewadi Chowk, going from left and under the tunnel at expressway entrance. Left at T point (15 km mark), 16 km mark there is a temple on the left where people gather on sunday morning, very careful here, Left most lane at Toll plaza, go straight to the intersection, go to the top of the hill and U turn. (20 km mark). While coming back very careful at 25 km mark right turn30 km express way cars coming from left and behind you. And dont forget to take the Baner/Balewadi exit at 39 kms and come under the tunnel to take a right and come back to Balewadi pool
  5. Biking cutoff is 2 hour 30 minutes from start.
  6. Dismount from the bike at bike dismount point only. Proceed to hang your bike on bike rack and then switch to Running gear quickly and proceed to run start

  1. An emergency contact number is printed on the bib. Call that in case of any emergency. (Not if you have run out of water 🙂 )
  2. There are vehicles posted at 5, 10, 15 and 20 km mark. If you have met with a minor accident then call the emergency number, tell you bib number, we will come to help you. Get your own puncture repair kit as much as possible. We will not have that handy.

Littering

Its very easy not to litter. Make sure your bike has two bottles of water or your energy drink pre filled while you put them on the rack. That way you will not need any help on the bike route.

On run route, we will put a trash can and will expect you to either carry the enerzal or water in your hand or put in the trash can.

My request is after you finish, please scan the run route once and pick any trashed bottles and put them in the trash bag. It will be really helpful

Restrooms 

There are men and women rest rooms in the pool deck.
