Dhaka Half Marathon to be held through a virtual platform from Feb 19

Dhaka Half Marathon 2021, an event aimed at a good cause and for showcasing Bangladesh on a global platform from a new perspective, will take place between February 19-21. 

There isn't, however, any fixed venue for the event as it will be held virtually using a dedicated virtual race platform. 

"This year, virtual races will be held in two segments -- a 21.1 km Half Marathon and a 7.5 km Run. The number of participants will be 3,200 in this event from all over Bangladesh and abroad. 

"Using the virtual platform, the participants can avoid coming to the same venue to participate in the race rather than run on their own location ensuring social distancing and connect with other runners via virtual running platform," informed the event's organizer The Dhaka Run Lords, an organization that aims to inspire people from all walks of life through running, through a press release today.
