The events include the scenic Innovation Nature Half Marathon (21.1 km). The flagship category takes runners from the world-class SNCC sports and cultural complex through the scenic peripheral roads, the iconic technology boulevard, and the academic and hostel zones.

The 10K Timed Run mirrors the half-marathon route and is expected to be perfect for intermediate runners seeking a challenging yet beautiful course.

The 5K Timed Run is popular among beginners and recreational runners, offering participants a refreshing tour of the academic and hostel blocks while finishing at the SNCC.

The 5K Fun Run is a no-pressure, no-timing category for families, groups of friends, and campus visitors who want to soak in the IITH experience without the stopwatch. This run includes no RFID tracking and is ideal for a relaxed campus exploration.

Timing Technologies is the official timing partner, deploying its state-of-the-art RFID sports timing system to ensure every split, turn, and finish is captured with professional accuracy. iFinish serves as the official registration partner, providing a smooth digital experience from start to finish with intuitive onboarding, easy access to race details, and live tracking capabilities.
