There are four Line-Up sections at JBG SHHM.
LINE UP - E, A, B & C.
Section E is right upfront at the Starting line. It is for the ELITE category of runners, the ones who've submitted the fastest qualifying times/are contenders for a podium finish.
Section A is just behind section E, for the relatively fast runners expected to finish the run in approx. 2 hours.
It is followed by the intermediate runners in Section B & the last section is Section C, which is farthest from the Start Point/Timing Mat.
The Qualifying criteria for participation in JBG SHHM & Seeding /Line Up section allotment for JBG SHHM 2024 are as follows:
It is not compulsory to have a Timing Certificate from a previous event to participate. However, we strongly advise you to train well for the event, especially if this is your first event. Follow one of our training programs to make sure you reach the Starting line fully prepared.
Those who do not have / cannot provide any Timing Certificate from a previous event will be automatically allotted Line-Up section C.
If you wish to have a better seeding/Line Up section (E, A or B), then please provide your Finish Time certificate or Results link from a Half or Full Marathon event held on or after 1 April 2023. Timing certificate submitted once cannot be changed or upgraded.
The cutoff times for the qualifying/allocation for Line-Up sections are as follows:
