What kind of race it is
The Delhi Half has a genuine claim to being the fastest half marathon in Asia in terms of who turns up — the elite field regularly includes world-class distance runners, and world-leading times have been run here. For the amateur field it is a well-organised, well-supported city half through central Delhi's wide avenues.
The course
Flat, on wide closed roads through the central government district — the kind of course where a personal best is a realistic target if the air cooperates.
Conditions
This is the honest caveat for Delhi: an October date sits right at the start of the season when the city's air quality begins to deteriorate. Some years the race morning is clear; some years it is not, and the event has attracted attention for exactly that reason. If you have asthma or any respiratory condition, look at the forecast and the readings before you travel.
How to approach it
It is flat enough that pacing discipline is the whole race. Build for a target pace rather than a target feeling, and have a plan B time in mind if the morning's air is bad — nobody's season is worth a race run through severe pollution.
Distances offered
Category names and cut-off times vary between editions. Official information: Procam International.

Training for the Delhi Half
Free, complete, week-by-week plans — pick the one that matches what you can currently do, not what you would like to be able to do.
Training in Delhi
In summer, before 06:00. In winter, counter-intuitively later — around 09:30 to 11:00, after the overnight inversion has lifted and PM2.5 has dropped.
