The event is an AIMS Member Race, and its 21.095-kilometre Half Marathon course is both AIMS Certified and World Athletics Measured.

The launch ceremony was held at a city hotel, with Dr. S. M. Ziauddin Hyder, Special Assistant on Health Affairs to the Prime Minister, attending as the chief guest. Group Captain S M Ragib Samad, Executive Director of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA), was present as a special guest.
