About the Race Director
As a runner, I have experienced races across different formats — from 5 KM and 10 KM runs to Half Marathons, Full Marathons, Ultra Runs and Stadium Runs.
Over the years, I have also been closely involved in the management and execution of 150+ running and sporting events, gaining hands-on experience across race operations, runner coordination and the many details that contribute to a successful event.
Today, as an RRCA Certified Race Director, I bring together my experience as a runner and my understanding of race operations to create a professionally managed and runner-focused race experience at the Sanand Half Marathon.

Race Director's Message
As a runner, I have experienced races across different formats — from 5 KM and 10 KM runs to Half Marathons, Full Marathons, Ultra Runs and Stadium Runs.
I have also been closely involved in the management and execution of more than 150 running and sporting events, gaining hands-on experience across race operations, runner coordination and the many details that make a race successful.
Now, as an RRCA Certified Race Director, I want to bring that experience together and create a different race experience for every runner at the Sanand Half Marathon — one that is professionally managed, thoughtfully planned and truly runner-focused.
