Ethiopia's Yalemzerf Yehualaw, who won a bronze last month at the women's World Athletics half marathon championships in Poland, is among those who will run the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon 2020 on November 29. Ethiopian pair Tsehay Gemechu and Andamlak Belihu, the defending champions, will both be aiming for a third successive victory in Delhi's half marathon. "Participation this year will be from a convenient location, wherever you are," said a press release from organiser Procam International. The Indian capital is also grappling with a surge in coronavirus infections this month fuelled by large crowds at religious festivals. "The Airtel Delhi Half Marathon will follow the highest level of safety-standards, with bio-secure zones to ensure a COVID free race for the elite runners," the organisers said.
