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.

At Run Monks, in our pursuit to offer unique ultra-running experiences, we choose Matheran for its unparalleled blend of natural beauty and significance.

Time-Based Hill Endurance Challenge
The Anjur Ascent Ultra (A2U) 12H is a unique time-based hill ultra held in Chennai, India, designed to test endurance, discipline, pacing and mental resilience rather than pure speed or distance. Unlike conventional ultras, progression in this race is controlled by time, making it a true examination of sustained climbing strength and consistency.
