The 20-Miler kicks off in the pre-dawn calm at MGM Grounds, following a spirited warm-up session. As the city sleeps, runners set off under starlit skies, heading towards the iconic RK Beach, passing landmarks like the Submarine Museum. At the Kali Temple, they take a U-turn and glide along a relatively smooth stretch, flanked by the statues of legends on one side and the rhythmic waves of the Bay of Bengal on the other. The journey continues past the Aircraft Museum, the Victory at Sea Memorial, and the historic Ghazi submarine relics, gradually ascending towards Kailasagiri. Here, runners are treated to stunning hill murals on their left and the serene Tenneti Park to their right. As the route undulates, runners pass by breathtaking spots like Kalam Viewpoint, Seethakonda, the Vizag Zoo, the peaceful ISKCON Temple, Radisson Blu curve,and finally reach the IT Hills which marks the U-turn. On their return, the sunrise greets them in full glory, casting vibrant hues across the ocean and sky. The chirping birds awaken with the day, adding nature’s soundtrack to the runner’s rhythm. The path back leads them toward the finish line at VUDA Park, where physio teams await to ease tired muscles, and the hospitality team is ready with a hot, energizing breakfast on the beautiful lawns of MGM Park.
