SUMMARY:Deccan Ultra 2025
DESCRIPTION:India\, a land of diverse terrain\, ranging from the rocky faces of the Himalayas to the forested slopes of the Sahyadris and the Western Ghats\, offers grueling and challenging race routes. \nWith the Deccan Ultra\, we introduce trails nestled deep within the Sahyadri Range\, offering mesmerizing views of the Deccan Plateau. The Deccan Ultra route includes the highest peak of Maharashtra\, Kalsubai at an altitude of 1646m and also the toughest triple-trouble forts in Sahyadri; Alanggad\, Madangad and Kulanggad\, commonly called the AMK.\nThe route is a mix of easy-ascent slopes as well as treacherous rocky outcrops overlooking the valley below. To climb the near-vertical slopes there are iron ladders along the course. The 115km and 80km category circulates around the Bhandardhara dam and involves climbing 5 forts and the Kalsubai peak.\n\n\nCategories:\n\n115 KM:\nElevation Gain: 4580m\nHighest Altitude: 1650m\nCut-Off time: 26 hrs\n\nITRA Points: 5 \n\n80 KM:\nElevation Gain: 3560m\nHighest Altitude: 1650m\nCut-Off time: 18 hrs\nITRA Points: 4\n \n\n55 KM\nElevation gain: 2160m\nHighest Altitude: 1650m\nCut-Off time: 12 hrs\nITRA Points: 3\n \n30 KM\nElevation gain: 1330m\nHighest Altitude: 1650m\nCut-Off time: 7 hrs\nITRA Points: 2\n \n21 KM \nElevation gain: 1130m\n\nHighest Altitude: 1130m\nCut-Off time: 7 hrs\n\n10 KM\nCross country\nCut-Off time: 2 hrs\n\n\nQualifying Criteria \nThe course is set on mountainous terrain and is a mix of easy-ascent slopes to treacherous rocky outcrops.
