This website is dedicated to trail running in India.

Why?

First, because India offers a wonderful and sometimes breathtaking scenery for running trails – particularly in the Himalayas and the Western Ghats, but also just outside many even larger cities.

Second, because you, yes you personally should be trail running. Running is always great, but on trails

• you breathe clean air and enjoy awe-inspiring nature,
• your mind does not wonder about concrete and asphalt, but wanders among trees, rocks, rivers and wildlife,
• you do not just go in a plane, but also up and down, 
• you do not have to go marathon distance to impress people, even a 10k run in rugged terrain can be a serious challenge,
• you can pause or walk whenever you want, uphill if it is too steep, downhill, if it is too slippery, or whenever you feel like it,
• you get to eat whatever and snack whenever you want,
• for almost all of us it is not a race, it is just a run,
• most important, it is totally instagrammable!

Now you may ask, “Where do I find a trail running event in India?” Right here!

To get you started, I offer just two pieces of information, about events and about organisers and organisations relevant for trail running in India (as a bonus there are some reports on the runs I did in the past). So get yourself some proper running shoes and hit the trails!
