Event registrations end on Jan 6th, 2020 at 5:00 pm IST.

Yes, participants may register for a single distance event or multiple events. For example a participant may register for 5 km and half marathon races.

Participants need to login to the HDOR website using their communicated login credentials.

No new accounts will be created for pre-existing HDOR participants, they can use their existing HDOR accounts for data submission if they registered for the using the same email credentials as their HDOR account.

The event starts on Jan 1st and ends on Jan 7th, 2020. Participants must complete the runs for their registered distance between these dates.

Participants must run using a supported GPS running app (refer to supported apps article for details), or a GPS watch.

Participants must submit their run details either manually by providing their public GPS activity link details for the run, or connect their HDOR account with Strava if their run details are available on their Strava account. No data will be accepted without activity link.

All submitted runs must be a single recorded GPS activity. Multiple activities are not allowed to be combined into one activity.

Run data must be submitted using a running app activity link which meets the submission requirements above.

Participants are free to attempt the registered run distance multiple times during the event duration. The best recorded time will be considered for final results.

Participants must ensure that they run the minimum distance for the registered event distance. For example, for running 5 km, participants must have at least 5 km recorded as part of their activity link.

It is advisable to run a little extra (0.5 km for 5 km run to up to a km for Marathon) to ensure that the distance your app or device saves is at least equal to event distance (apps occasionally reduce distance when saving, or when exporting data from one app to another, example from Garmin Connect app to Strava).

For all participants, we will extrapolate the recorded distance to the actual race distance (reduce/increase the finish time proportionally to make it equivalent to the event distance). So if you run more, we will adjust your finish time accordingly.

Any runs reported of distance less that the registered distance will not be considered. Event organizers will not be responsible for any GPS app or device issues for the participants device.

All runs are to be done as per a person’s own capability without the use of any other vehicle or aid which may help with their finish times, just like in any physical event.

Your run will be available on our website within 24 hours of your run data submission or post availability in your Strava account if you have connected your HDOR account to Strava.

To qualify as a finisher, you are required to submit your run data on our website in the form of a public GPS activity link (as per your race distance) from apps like Strava, Garmin Connect, Runkeeper, Endomondo, etc, or public link to your finish timing at any organized marathon race.

It is not necessary for you to take part in an organized race to submit your run data. A self-supported run which meets the above data submission criteria is enough.

Event organizers can reject any entry which has suspect GPS data (straight line outside normal run route, unrealistic high pace like sub 3 min/km pace at any time during run, etc)

Event organizers have the right to take any decisions for disqualifying a participant if the participant is considered to have taken any external help in running the distance (like using a cycle or any other vehicle) or cheated in any way.
