A year ago, Saturday mornings in Hyderabad's tech neighbourhoods usually meant one thing: sleep. Work weeks filled with late‑night calls with global teams and back‑to‑back meetings left little room for anything but rest once the weekend arrived. That's shifting. Walk through Gachibowli, Hitech City or Jubilee Hills before 6 AM, and you'll find something different: small groups of runners, headlamps on, already several kilometres into their morning.
Much of this shift traces back to something as simple as a date on the calendar. That's what the Times Internet Half Marathon Hyderabad Edition is offering the city's growing running community: a fixed race day that turns loose intentions into an actual training routine.
