Asian Games Medalist Kartik Kumar, Defending Champ Sanjivani Jadhav To Lead India's Charge At Delhi Half Marathon
Half Marathon Murali Kumar Gavit: Asian Games 2023 silver medalist in the 10,000m race Kartik Kumar and defending champion Sanjivani Jadhav will headline the Indian elite athletes in the men's and women's categories at the 18th Delhi Half Marathon, on October 15.
Kartik Kumar, who is a very successful 10,000m runner, recorded his personal best (1:04:00) at the Delhi Half Marathon last year. He was also the runner-up at the TCS World 10K 2022, Bengaluru with a timing of 30:06. Kartik became the first Indian to win a medal in the 10,000m event at the Asian Games since Gulab Chand in 1998. Kartik's compatriot Gulveer Singh won a Bronze in the same event.
Speaking about running in Delhi once again, Kartik said, "It's always exciting to be a part of the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon. The atmosphere is absolutely electric and brings out the best in me. I am feeling very confident after my performance at the Asian Games and hopefully, I will be able to win this year at Delhi."
