Running & Art Therapy
2025-08-03 07:00 - 10:00 | Bengaluru, Bengaluru, India
Join us for a soul-soothing experience where movement meets mindfulness.
Original Event by Zen Mountain in collaboration with Ananyaavan.
This unique workshop combines a refreshing group run through scenic nature trails, followed by a hands-on painting session designed to help you slow down and reflect.

We’ll begin with a group run through nature, letting the body move freely, the breath settle, and the mind open. No loudspeakers. No flashing lights. Just the sound of feet on earth and leaves in the wind.
Post-run, we transition into a calming hands-on art session—where you’ll paint what the run stirred in you. Nature-inspired, intuitive, and guided. You don’t need to be an artist. You just need to show up.

This is for the kind of runner who isn’t looking for a party after a run—just peace, reflection, and connection. Come for the miles. Stay for the meaning.

No prior painting experience is needed — just come with an open heart and a curious mind.

The Coffee Trails 3.0
2025-11-09 05:00 - 17:00 | Coorg
The Coffee Trails 3.0 is set to happen in Coorg on 9th November 2025.
Coorg is one of the smallest districts in Karnataka, next to the Kerala border known for its verdant coffee estates, hills, lush greenery and the warrior community of Kodavas, because of which it is called the ‘land of the bold and beautiful’. Also known as the ‘Scotland of India’, it was given the term because of its previous Scottish and British settlers being reminded of their homeland by the hilly terrain, greenery, and the cool climate. The Coffee Trails will take the runners through beautiful coffee estates and some of the most beautiful trails and views in all of Coorg. The route will take in three of the most well-known peaks in the area; Thadiandamol (the tallest peak in Coorg), Kabbe and Chomakund.

The views are breathtaking and the course difficulty ranges from comfortable to downright bad. The comfortable sections are stone or mud trails through the forest and the coffee plantations. The downright bad sections are the grassy areas on the hills which are similar to tussocks and clumps of heather on the English fells. Being in the monsoon, the trails are also bound to be a little slippery. It’s a 30k loop with 1300m elevation gain.

Dudhsagar Ultra Trail
2025-12-13 05:00 - 17:00 | Goa, Goa
About Dudhsagar:
Dudhsagar is a four-tiered waterfall located in the Western Ghats of India. It is one of the most prominent and beautiful waterfalls in the country. The waterfall is situated on the Mandovi River in the state of Goa, near the border with Karnataka. The name “Dudhsagar” means ‘sea of milk’. The milky appearance of the water forms when it cascades down the rocky tiers, resembling a stream of milk.

Mythical story!
This Sea of Milk name for Dudhsagar Waterfall came from the myth associated with it. The story goes like this once there was a princess, she was the daughter of king of ghats. She used to go to nearby lake to bath and along with her, the maidens used to drink milk from the jug. One day a prince was crossing the lake and hearing the sound of laughter of princess and the maiden he stopped. Maidens poured the jug of milk in the water around her to save her honor. Hence the name “Dudhsagar”.

Why to run Dudhsagar Ultra Trail?
Goa is always known to its visitors for its beaches, pubs, and nightlife. But what many do not know is that being occupied by the majestic hills of the Western Ghats, the part of Goa near its Karnataka border is dotted with many waterfalls and beautiful trails in Mollem National Park & Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary like the Dudhsagar trek trail. So even if you are not a beach lover, there is yet another reason to visit Goa – The scenic Western Ghats and its forests.
