Shastri Devi, who had lost her way twice last time, said she doesn't know whether the route has changed or remains the same.

"Few days back, I heard that there could be a change in route due to terror threats, but I am not aware of what route is finalised. I have not yet got any route map. The race co-ordinator said that there will be a pilot runner guiding us, but we haven't yet met anyone.

"Last time there were no signs indicating the route. In fact, I lost my way twice, but thankfully I was guided by one of the officials later. That affected my timing," she said.

However, the organisers have confirmed that the route remains the same. It was a huge relief for Shastri Devi when SUNDAY MiD DAY informed her about the same later in the day on Saturday.
