Bringing the 'Joy of Running' to Life with New Gurugram Half-marathon

It is often said that marathons make us forget the miles but remember the glory. Keeping this spirit in consideration, New Gurugram held its first-ever half-marathon on 28th March 2021. The event took place at the most picturesque and scenic location on NH-8, the Karma Lakelands, Gurugram. A luxury residence, Klub and golf resort with no traffic and external chaos except the rhythmic tapping of the participants’ feet served as an ideal place for a healthy initiative such as a half-marathon.
