Congratulations on being a part of the Urban Stampede! The corporate run will start at 7 AM and the non-corporate run will start at 10 AM.

Here's some important info for race day (for the corporate run):

1.      Getting there

You could either travel on the bus with us or get there yourself. If you have already registered for the bus, please note that the departure time for the bus is at 5:00 AM. Please be there by 4.45 AM.

The bus will leave from Cubbon Park, opposite Jewels De Paragon, which is on one end of M.G. Road (the non-Trinity Circle end). Transport costs are Rs. 200 per person (irrespective of age) and it includes both the onward and return journeys. Travel costs will be collected in cash on the way there, so remember to carry cash with you!

If you are getting there yourself, here are the directions to Olde Bangalore resort:

• From Mekhri Circle, head North on NH-7 (The Bangalore – Hyderabad Highway) towards the Bangalore’s International Airport
• On your way you will cross Hebbal flyover, Jakkur (on your right), Yelahanka Air Force Base (on your left) and arrive at the ITC Factory (on your left)
• At the ITC Factory (which is exactly 19 km from the Hebbal flyover), take a left turn (you will see a black and yellow board for Olde Bangalore at the turning)
• Continue on that road for 2.6 km and you will find Olde Bangalore on your left
• It should take not more than 1 hour to reach Olde Bangalore from M.G road

2.     Registration first!

Once you get there, please check in with your entire team at the registration desk. All runners will need to bring the company tags or ID cards for verification.

3.     Baggage counter
