For your reference, the 2025 edition was distributed the day before the competition at the Ahmedabad Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Auditorium, and you must bring a reception receipt and confirmation certificate when picking it up.
Bib was not distributed on the day of the competition.
The proxy pick-up policy is not disclosed.

Stations & transport near the venue

  • Getting to the startSabarmati Riverfront Event Centre, Paldi, Ahmedabad — nearest metro is Paldi station on Ahmedabad Metro,…
  • Transit cardFor most short trips, cash tickets on BRTS/AMTS buses or auto-rickshaws (or ride-hailing apps) are the simplest option for a visiting runner. The dedicated BRTS/AMTS transit card (Janmitra) has had its issuance suspended, so don't plan around getting one; the Ahmedabad Metro has its own separate smart card if you'll use the metro specifically.
