About the Agra Taj Half Marathon
--------------------------------

The [Agra Taj Half Marathon (ATHM)](https://www.athm.in/), organised by the Agra Sports Foundation,
 is the region's biggest and fastest-growing running event. Now in its 3rd
 edition and AIMS certified, ATHM takes runners on a scenic route with the
 Taj Mahal as their backdrop, with 21.1K, 10K, and 5K categories.

Beyond the main race, ATHM runs promo runs, ethnic runs, and inauguration
 events throughout the year, all of which use 9Pic AI for photo delivery
 through their white-label portal at [photos.athm.in](https://photos.athm.in/).

The Challenge
-------------

As a young marathon with ambitions to match India's most established events,
 ATHM needed to deliver a world-class post-race experience from day one:

- **Growing fast:** From the inaugural edition to 5,000+
 runners in three years, the volume of race-day photos grew rapidly.
- **Year-round engagement:** Promo runs and ethnic runs
 between main editions meant photos needed to be delivered for multiple
 smaller events too, not just race day.
- **Memorable content for runners:** Participants running
 past the Taj Mahal deserve more than a raw photo gallery. They want
 something sharable and personalised.
- **Brand consistency:** All photo and video content
 needed to sit under the ATHM brand, reinforcing the event's identity.

The Solution
------------

ATHM adopted 9Pic AI as their photo and video platform over two years ago,
 deploying it under their own branded portal. Every event, from the main
 half marathon to promo runs, uses the same platform:

### 9pic BibTrack

AI bib-number recognition tags every photo to the
 correct runner automatically, even when bibs are partially obscured in
 action shots.

### 9pic FaceFind

Runners who can't locate their bib in photos
 simply take a selfie to find all their race photos instantly.

### 9pic Flow

Personalised race reels are auto-generated for
 each runner, combining their photos with the Taj Mahal backdrop into
 sharable highlight videos.

### White-Label Portal

Everything lives at **photos.athm.in**, so ATHM's brand stays front and centre
 for every photo download, video share, and social post.

The Results
-----------

- **Free photos for all runners:** ATHM promotes
 "Free Race Day Photos" as a headline benefit alongside the runner's
 kit, T-shirt, and medal.
- **Personalised reels drive social sharing:** Runners share their highlight videos of running past the Taj Mahal,
 amplifying the event's brand organically.
- **Year-round platform use:** The same portal handles
 promo runs, ethnic runs, and inauguration events, keeping the
 community engaged between main editions.
- **Two-year partnership and growing:** ATHM has used
 9Pic AI since their early editions, scaling from a regional event
 to an AIMS-certified marathon.
> “9Pic AI has been part of our
> journey from the early days. Every runner who crosses the finish line with the
> Taj Mahal behind them deserves a memory they can keep and share. The platform
> gives us that - photos tagged automatically, personalised reels generated
> for every participant, all under our brand at photos.athm.in. Whether it's the
> main half marathon or a promo run, it just works.”
