Delhi Marathon: When Even Severe Air Quality Didn’t Daunt Runners

The Airtel Delhi Half Marathon took place on Sunday, 21 October, and saw a turnout of about 35,000 participants.

On the hazy morning of 21 October, people descended upon the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon in huge numbers. Just a day before on 20 October, when FIT traced the marathon route, the air quality on all locations was found to be in the severely bad category, yet it did not intimidate the runners even the slightest.
