🚗 Parking & Arrival Information

Hello! I'm Deepak Ram. I’ll be pacing the 50-minute bus for the upcoming 10K and look forward to helping you hit your goal! We’ll be following a steady pacing strategy, aiming to maintain an even effort throughout the race while adjusting slightly for uphill or downhill stretches. This approach helps conserve energy and keeps you feeling strong all the way to the finish.

I’ve run 9 full marathons and numerous shorter-distance races, so I understand how pacing and mindset play a big role in getting the best out of your run. My personal best for the 10K is 42:56, but on race day, I’ll be focused entirely on helping you get to the finish in 50 minutes, with a strong and controlled effort.

Stick with me, trust the pace, and let’s cross that line together right on target. I’ll be there to motivate, monitor, and keep the rhythm. Let’s do this!

Hi, my name is Binod Negi and I’m thrilled to be your pacer for the SAP 10K! With over 12 years of running and coaching—from my first 10K to now training for ultras—I’ve learned that running is a victory of mind and body. My PB for 10K is 48 mins and I will lead the 55 min bus for the SAP Run 2025.

All your hard training has prepared you for this moment. To ensure we achieve our goal, we're going to adopt a strategic three-phase approach:

• Phase 1: The Fast Start
  We'll try and leverage the energy at the start line, beginning at a faster clip for the first few KMs. This allows us to use our initial adrenaline wisely and build a small time cushion.
• Phase 2: The Steady Middle
  Once the race settles, so will we. We'll lock into a consistent, manageable pace for the core of the race, focusing on our rhythm and conserving energy on any inclines.
• Phase 3: The Strong Finish
  Thanks to our fast start, we won't need a frantic final sprint. Instead, we can approach the finish line with a controlled and relaxed pace, feeling strong and confident as we cross well under our 55-minute goal.

You can see the exact pace for each KM in the detailed chart below.

Let’s run as a team, feed off each other's energy, and remain mentally tough. Trust your training, trust our plan, and let’s cross that finish line together! Let's do this!

I am Nishanth Shetty, your pacer for the SAP Run 10K, aiming for a finish time of 60 minutes. With a running background since 2012 and part of SAP Roadies team, I've completed 2 full marathons, 25+ half marathons, and numerous 10Ks, with a PB of 48 minutes in 10K.

As a certified yoga trainer, I understand the importance of balance, focus, and breathing. Let's work together to achieve your goal!

Our 10K Strategy:

• 0–2K: ~6:05/km (warm-up)
• 2–8K: ~5:53–5:58/km (steady rhythm)
• 8–10K: ~5:50–5:54/km (strong finish)

We'll maintain a steady pace, adjusting for inclines and declines, aiming for a finish time of 59:45. Let's run smart, conserve energy, and cross the finish line strong! 🏃‍♂️💨

Follow me, and let's beat the clock together!

Hi, This is Arun Rachegowda. I’ve been running since 2007 with SAP Roadies, completing 7 full marathons, 32 half marathons, and many 10Ks with a PB of 48 mins in 10K. I’ve trained and paced runners across distances and am excited to co-lead the 60-minute bus at the SAP Run. Our target is a strong finish around 59:45.

The pacing strategy is steady and energised:

• 0–2K: ~6:05/km to warm up and settle in
• 2–8K: ~5:53–5:58/km to maintain rhythm
• 8–10K: ~5:50–5:54/km to finish strong and beat the clock

We’ll maintain group motivation with positive cues and energy, ensuring a good run. With 50- and 70-minute pacers also on course, we’ll help runners lock into the right pace early and stay confident through the finish.

Hi, I am Abinash Nanda, a passionate runner who took up running few years ago as part of my recovery from a sports injury—and hasn’t looked back since. What started as rehab turned into a joyful routine, and today, running is my go-to for both physical and mental well-being.

Through dedication and consistency, I’ve been able to steadily improve and achieve a 10K personal best of 49 minutes. I am excited to pace the 65-minute 10K group, using a positive splits strategy that starts strong and eases off gradually—ideal for runners who want to build early confidence and finish comfortably.

While not a professional runner, my consistency, encouragement, and first-hand experience of building back from injury should make me a relatable and supportive pacer for anyone chasing their finish line.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Gokul, and I'll be pacing the 90-minute bus for the SAP Run 2025. I’m an ultra runner with experience in several ultra marathons, including a 100 km run, over 20 full marathons, and numerous half marathons and 10K runs. My official personal best for a 10K is 43:02 minutes.

The 90-minute bus aims to maintain optimal speeds during both uphills and downhills, ensuring that runners don’t get exhausted. We will stop at refuel stations along the way for nutrition, recovery, and rest.

This is the last pacing bus for the SAP Run 2025, so feel free to join if you’re aiming to finish the run in around 90 minutes.

Our primary goal is not just to finish the event on time, but also to provide you with an amazing running experience. Cheers!
