Page moved
You created a sandbox page but it had an incorrect name. In general, pages whose name starts with User: should be named User:YOURUSERNAMEGOESHERE/sandbox or something similar. For example, you could create a page User:Punjabirun/sandbox2 if you wanted to.

I moved the page to User:Punjabirun/sandbox so you can keep working on it. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  18:54, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I also "de-activated" the category by inserting a colon in the line that says so that it now reads Category:events .  This is so that your draft article does not appear in Category:events, which is a category that only articles and "sub-categories" should be in.  In any case, if this race does meet the criteria for having an article and your sandbox is eventually moved into the main encyclopedia, it should be in a more specific category, such as Category:Running competitions or one of its sub-categories. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  19:13, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Please change your username or create a new account
Wikipedia does not allow usernames which appear to promote things. Your username appears to promote the Punjabi Run, as outlined in the page you created that I moved to User:Punjabirun/sandbox a few minutes ago.

Please read Username policy. In particular, pay close attention to Username policy.

You can request a change of username by following the instructions at Changing username. You may also simply stop using this username and create another account. If you do that, you can read Move to move User:Punjabirun/sandbox to the sandbox of your new account. New accounts may not be able to use the "Move" tool right away. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  19:04, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia notability
Before creating new articles on Wikipedia, please read Notability, Reliable sources, and Independent sources. Most races do not meet Wikipedia's criteria to have an article about them. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  19:09, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
