Kharagpur D Star Athletic Club (KDSAC) is pleased to offer complimentary accommodation and food for registered participants who are travelling from outside Kharagpur for Kharagpur Mini Marathon 2026. This support is our way of welcoming runners from other towns and districts and helping them arrive rested and ready for race morning.

When you can arrive: outstation participants may check in from 9 May 2026, 3:00 PM onwards. Please plan your journey so you can reach during or after this window, and coordinate with the organising team if you need directions or reporting instructions.

Who is eligible: registered athletes coming from outside Kharagpur for the event. Bring your registration confirmation and a valid photo ID when you report. Capacity and allocation are managed by KDSAC; contact us early if you expect to use this facility so we can plan meals and bedding accordingly.

For questions about stay, reporting time, or venue details, use the contact options on our homepage or write to kharagpurdstarathleticclub@gmail.com.

After the event, participant and ranked certificates are issued through the official KDSAC certificate portal once your registration has been verified by the organising team. Use the same full name and date of birth you entered at registration so the system can match your record securely.

If your status is still pending, please wait for admin updates after results are finalised. Ranked athletes receive their certificate with rank and category details as soon as the results sheet is published. For any discrepancy, contact the club using the details on the homepage.
