Kolkata 25K: New Route for 10th Year
The Tata Steel World 25K Kolkata 2025 is a big running event happening in Kolkata.
Over 23,000 people have signed up to run in different categories.
This is the 10th year of the event, and it has grown a lot since it started.
The route has changed this year because a big bridge, Vidyasagar Setu, is closed for repairs.
Runners will see new parts of the city, like Rabindra Sarobar.
The event starts early in the morning, with different groups starting at different times.
Doctors are also there to help keep everyone safe and healthy during the run.
Over 23,000 runners have registered for the Tata Steel World 25K Kolkata 2025, with registration closing early due to high demand.
The event's 10th edition features a new route, avoiding the closed Vidyasagar Setu and including landmarks like Rabindra Sarobar.
All five race categories will start and finish at Red Road, with different start times for each category.
Medical advice for runners includes taking adequate rest, eating a light breakfast, and warming up before and cooling down after running.
The event has grown significantly, with about 7,000 runners registering for the 25K category alone, up from just 700 in the early years.
