DESCRIPTION:10th Tekion Edition\nThe Malnad Ultra is India’s largest trail ultra — a legendary running event set deep in the coffee-growing heartland of the Malnad region in South India. Now in its 10th edition\, the Tekion Malnad Ultra 2026 takes place on Saturday\, 28 November 2026 at GPL Ground\, Mallanduru\, Karnataka\, offering trail runners four distinct categories — from 30 KM to 100 KM — across some of the most rugged\, scenic\, and challenging terrain in the Western Ghats. \nThis is not a city road race. The Malnad Ultra is a true wilderness trail experience — remote\, demanding\, and deeply rewarding for those who earn their finish. \n\nEvent Overview\nEvent: 10th Tekion Malnad Ultra \nDate: Saturday\, 28 November 2026 \nVenue: GPL Ground\, Mallanduru\, Karnataka \nOrganised by: GIREM \nRegistrations Open: 1 August 2026 \nRegistrations Close: 1 November 2026 (or when category caps are reached) \nQualification Deadline: 7 November 2026 \nEmail: run@malnadultra.com \n\nAbout the Course\nThe Malnad Ultra course is laid out in the heartland of Indian coffee country — the Malnad region of South India.
