Delhi Half Marathon

The Delhi Half Marathon, run commercially as the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, is a 21.097 km road race held each October in New Delhi. It is organised by Procam International, the Mumbai-based events company founded in 1988, and it appears on the World Athletics Label road race calendar. The race starts and finishes at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, and the elite field is decided on a fast, flat loop through the centre of the city. Kenyan and Ethiopian runners have dominated the international elite race, and the men's and women's winners each take home USD 27,000. A separate Indian elite race runs alongside it, with its own prize list and event records. The men's event record fell in 2026, when Kenya's Charles Matata ran 58:52 to beat the 58:53 that Ethiopia's Amdework Walelegn set in 2020. The women's event record is still the 1:04:46 that Yalemzerf Yehualaw of Ethiopia ran in the same 2020 race. Behind the elites comes a mass field that drew nearly 40,000 runners to the streets in 2026. Provisional results are published on race day, and official timing certificates follow on Sports Timing Solutions about 21 working days later.
