The 10 kilometre half marathon registered a participation of 3,000 people, a defense spokesman said.
"More than 3,000 people from various parts of the district including residents from far flung villages of the area participated in the 10 kilometre half-marathon," he said.
The event was followed by a 2.5 km run-cum-walk for senior citizens of the district in which a large number of elders from the area participated.
"The message of cleanliness was conveyed during both the events," he said.
