Niti MTB Challenge 2026
2026-05-30 | Uttarakhand, Kumaon, Uttarakhand, India
High-Altitude Mountain Biking in the Himalayas
The Niti MTB Challenge 2026 is one of India’s most extraordinary mountain biking events — a high-altitude endurance race set deep in the remote Niti Valley, Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, just a few kilometres from the Indo-Tibetan (China) border. Organised by the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board and powered by Bikes Station Haldwani, this event is a rare invitation to ride through some of the most untouched and dramatic Himalayan terrain in the country.
Whether you are a competitive MTB rider or an adventure cyclist, the Niti MTB Challenge offers a race experience unlike anything you will find on the Indian cycling calendar — raw, scenic, high-altitude, and deeply rooted in the culture of the mountains.

About Niti Valley
Niti Valley is one of the last truly wild Himalayan valleys in India. Nestled in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand and sitting close to the Indo-Tibetan border, it is a region of staggering beauty — ancient mountain villages, dramatic gorges, high-altitude meadows, and landscapes that very few cyclists ever get to experience.
The race route connects the villages of Malari (3,100 m) and Gamshali (3,350 m), taking riders through terrain that is as challenging as it is breathtaking. This is border tourism at its finest — adventurous, purposeful, and deeply connected to the communities that call these mountains home.

A Tale of Two Cities — The Course
The NMDC Hyderabad Marathon is a point-to-point race that takes runners on a spectacular journey across two faces of the city. It begins at the shimmering Hussain Sagar Lake under the gaze of the iconic monolithic Buddha statue, passes through the corridors of power at the New Secretariat and the prestigious neighbourhoods of Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills, crosses the architectural marvel of the Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge with panoramic views of the Cyberabad skyline, and finishes inside the electrifying GMC Balayogi Stadium, Gachibowli.
Set on the Deccan Plateau, the course features rolling hills, three flyovers, and a challenging terrain that earns every finisher a true badge of honour. This is not a flat city race — it is a course that demands training and rewards grit.

Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon 2026 – 5th Edition
2026-09-06
The Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon 2026 is one of India’s most unique and atmospheric running events — a destination race set in the lush, rain-soaked coffee estates of Kodagu (Coorg), Karnataka. Now in its 5th Edition, this event on 6 September 2026 invites runners to experience something no city marathon can offer — running through monsoon mist, exotic coffee plantations, and the rolling green hills of South India’s most beloved hill station.
Organised by NEB Sports, in association with Karaumbiah’s Academy for Learning and Sports (KALS) and Ashwini’s Sports Foundation (ASF), the Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon is more than a race — it is a running destination experience you will talk about for years.

The Kodagu Monsoon Half Marathon puts you right in the middle of it. You will run through coffee estates dripping with rain, past lush green pastoral lands, and along roads that wind through one of the most scenic landscapes in the country. The rain is not an obstacle — it is the experience.
This is a race for runners who want more than a finish line. They want a memory.

Bhatti Lakes Ultra 2026
2026-10-23 - 2026-10-25 | Haryana, India
“Running far makes you an ultrarunner. But finishing with precision exactly when you said you would? That’s what makes you elite.” — Kavitha Kanaparthi, Race Director

The Bhatti Lakes Ultra is one of India’s most iconic and unforgiving ultra running events — a proving ground carved into the rocky, sun-scorched trails of the Aravalli range, just 30 km from Delhi. Now in its 13th edition, this GlobeRacers event runs across 23–25 October 2026, offering distances from 20 KM all the way to a brutal 200 KM — making it one of the longest and most demanding ultra events on the Indian running calendar.
Started as GlobeRacers’ second-ever race, the Bhatti Lakes Ultra has grown into a legend. No spectators. No shortcuts. No distractions. Just you, your grit, and a trail that never ends.
About the Course
The Bhatti Lakes Ultra is set in the unforgiving terrain of the Aravalli range — one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. The loop-format course takes runners through rocky sections, sandy patches that test footing, thorny paths, troughs, gorges, and stretches of trail with zero shade cover where the midday sun beats down relentlessly.

Conditions: Mid-to-high 30s °C during the day, dropping to the teens at night. Dehydration, sunburn, and dizzy spells are real risks for the unprepared.
This is not a comfortable race. It is a complete test of body and mind — and that is precisely why runners come back for it year after year.
