The winner, first runner-up and second runner-up in both the male and female categories will get cash awards of Rs 1.5 lakh, Rs 50,000 and Rs 25,000, respectively."
The race will start at 9am. The marathon, whose tagline is "Run for Peace, Run for Happiness", is being organised in collaboration with the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration and the state government.
"The last date for submission of forms is January 11. After the submission of forms is complete, the participants will have to undergo a medical test," Chaturvedi said.
According to the district police chief, over 2,000 participants are expected for the half marathon.
"We are getting a lot of inquiries from Calcutta and Siliguri. Runners from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarkhand, Jharkhand, Bihar and some other states have also submitted forms," Chaturvedi said.
