What about the weather in Hyderabad on the race weekend
The weather in Hyderabad is generally expected to be pleasant, with day temperatures of around 25 to 30 degrees C. However, humidity may be as high as 50-60%. Sudden showers may be expected, and they are usually short. Runners are requested to dress appropriately and ensure they are sufficiently hydrated throughout the course.

There have been sudden showers during the previous editions of the Run. The event went ahead despite these as they were just cloudbursts.
