Dusheera Run: Gandipet - APPA - ORR - Gandipet



Wow ! What a run it was. Three runners and an amazing SAG support from Vasu. Satish, Sri Hari and I set out from Gandipet at around 6AM to do a 16KM loop and it turned out to be an amazing run.

The weather and the route turned out to be perfect. The entire route and logistics was planned by Satish.

To quote Satish:

Route :http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3211225
Starting point : Gandipet

The idea is to start at Gandipet and run towards Mrigavani National Park. Then come onto the APPA-Chilkur road and run toward the ORR. At the rotary get onto the ORR and run towards the osman sagar road. At the Osman sagar road take a left and run towards gandipet. The total distance is 16.5k.


A part of this stretch was my regular route to my B.Tech. College. The roads have widened, there is an Outer Ring Road (ORR) etc.


The best part to me was the outer ring road and we had an entire 3-Lane empty for us to run. Amazing open landscape ! It was a more of those leisured and pleasured runs.


Last but not the least, Thanks to Vasu who was our SAG driver and shadowed us with all the essential support. Thanks mate !

Great run guys and as I have more long weekends to come by I'll be there positively for more such runs.

Keep Running Hyderabad !
