Touted as one of the flattest and fastest courses in the world, the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon (VDHM) – a winter marathon held in Delhi provides the participants with a perfect opportunity to achieve a new personal best. Earlier known as the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon (ADHM in short), the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, with an AIMS-certified course & IAAI Gold label race certification, has been instrumental in making Delhiites embrace a healthier lifestyle and turn to running in large numbers

First organized by Procam in 2005, VDHM has become one of the largest events in the country attracting runners not only across India and neighboring countries but from across the world. Initially sponsored by Hutchison Essar/ Vodafone Essar for 3 years, Airtel held the sponsorship role from 2008 till 2020.

The Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon route is akin to a world-class running track – with clean & sanitized roads, exhaustive on-route medical support, and huge volunteer support to ensure that the event is conducted smoothly. The race route takes the runners across a few of Delhi’s iconic landmarks like – Lodhi Garden, Jantar Mantar, and India Gate.

Over the years the event has consistently recorded the top five fastest HM timings in the world. Even running legend Eliud Kipchoge chose to run Delhi after his Rio Olympic gold and claimed the title for the Delhi Marathon in the year 2016. The event has been a springboard for Indian elites as well. Global sporting icons like Asafa Powell, Sanya Richards Ross, and Sir Richard Hadlee, amongst many others, have endorsed this prestigious event as ambassadors.

Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon also provides one of the largest philanthropy platforms in the country.

The following categories of races are offered during the event:

  • Half marathon (21.1 km)
  • 10km
  • Great Delhi Run (Approx 4 km)
  • Senior citizen run (3 km)
  • Champions with Disability (3 km)

The last mass/public participation live event was held in 2019 and had 40,000+ participants with 17,000+ running the 5k Great Delhi Run. In 2020, the VDHM was held as a live event only for elite runners while a virtual run was organized for general participants. VDHM 2021 was canceled.
