Delhi Metro stations and interchanges for the marathon crowds
Heading to Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, use JLN Stadium station on the Violet Line. Gates near the CGO Complex and the stadium plaza provide the quickest walk. If the station is crowded, exit earlier at Jangpura or Lajpat Nagar. Approach on foot or by feeder bus, depending on closures near the venue.
Save time by generating mobile QR tickets on the official DMRC Travel app. Keep screen brightness high at the gates and carry one QR per rider. Plan changes at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House or Central Secretariat within the early window. Expect security checks at entry, so add a few buffer minutes.
Driving to the stadium can be slow before dawn, and parking is limited near gates. Park at a convenient Metro station instead and finish by train. The event schedule begins early, with baggage counters opening at 4:30 am. Those 3:30 am trains should comfortably meet assembly times.
