Check out the results here, for science and technology run on the occasion of IISc Centenary. There are total 24 winners for four age groups.
Congratulations to everyone who participated. Keep up the spirit!
A few stories related to the run:
- Dheeraj ran: first in the run, then back to hostel, and then for his Program Analysis and Verification exam.
- Arnab was invigilating an exam, but he had to wait on the road, since the road was blocked for the run.
- Arun ran, despite having his hand fractured.
- Almost everyone got a T-shirt and a cap. IISc Associate Director, N Balakrishnan announced Rs.100 book voucher for each registered participant.
- bhOndOO was told by CSA security guard with an emotional tint, “Sir, Main bhi dauda. Mujhe bahut achchaa lagaa.” (Sir, I also ran. I liked it very much.).
- Earlier, the number of online registrations reached over 1100. But since on-the-spot registrations were still on, total number of runners were around 1500.
- Voices, the IISc newsletter, is writing the media report.
A wonderful description of the event is given by Dr Gururaja (CES) (Thanks Gururaja for the comment).
And here is the Times report.
Update: Anaska’s pingback made me realize the importance of the last photo above. The poster was designed by him! Anaska, wonderful designs. Great work.

I was also part of the event, both as a volunteer and as a participant and yes, it was great fun! Cheers to the spirit – to put it in the director’s words – especially, of the participants aged above 55 and below 15.
