In the 3rd Edition\, Lahaul experienced heavy snowfall\, followed by a series of avalanches\, leading to total roadblocks. So\, the location was shifted to Jana in Kullu. The 4th Edition of Snow Marathon Lahaul was again run in 10.5 km loops. For the 5th Edition\, the route will be run in a fascinating loop of 21.097 km. The course will begin from North Portal and head out towards Khoksar and Gramphu\, and then back up the Manali-Leh Highway and then higher up to the whitewashed hill link roads across the monasteries and open snowed over fields and meadows and then down to the semi-frozen Chandra River. The running route is a mix of level roads\, river-valley floor\, trails and hill ascents and descents. Does it get more dramatically better and even more satisfying and challenging than that!? Be ready for a surprise at every step\, twist and turn\, and the natural slide down and back! \nClick here for the location.

SUMMARY:PANIKOT By CapitalTrails
DESCRIPTION:PANIKOT By CapitalTrails is one of a 4-part series\, which is India’s first and only 100% navigation-led self-supported trail running races. Held annually to celebrate the true spirit of trail running\, PANIKOT immerses runners into the wild trails around Damdama and Panikot lakes near Gurugram in NCR. This minimalist trail racing experience tests both trail running skill and self-sufficiency\, requiring participants to navigate using .gpx files on a completely unmarked course while carrying their own supplies. \n\nEvent Overview\n\nEvent Name: PANIKOT By CapitalTrails\nDate: Sunday\, 22 March 2026\nTime: 6:30 AM – 11:30 AM IST\nLocation: Saras Damdama Lake Resort\, Damdama\, Sohna\, Gurugram\, Haryana 122102\, India\nOrganiser: CapitalTrails India – a community-driven outdoor and trail running group promoting sustainable minimalist racing.\n\n\n‍Race Categories & Distances\nPANIKOT 2026 offers two main trail race options: \n11K Short\n\nDistance: 11 km\nElevation Gain / Loss: ~140 m A/D+\nCut-off: 3 hrs\nIdeal for trail newcomers or runners seeking a shorter\, fast jungle trail experience in the forests of Damdama.\n\n‍23K Long\n\nDistance: 23 km\nElevation Gain / Loss: ~567 m A/D+\nCut-off: 5 hrs\n Speed challenge through sun-kissed forests\, sandy and rocky climbs\, and thorny trails\, with rewarding views of the majestic Panikot Lake.\n\n\n️ Trail Format & Navigation\nCapitalTrails Race Series events like PANIKOT emphasize outdoor navigation skills and self-reliance: \n✔ Self-Supported: Participants carry their own water\, food\, navigation and gear – no external aid stations or race support. ✔ Navigation-led: Runners receive a .GPX course file to load on their device for navigation.✔ Responsible Trail Experience: Category caps are typically small (e.g.\, ~30 participants) to protect trails and natural surroundings. ✔ Age & Gender Normalisation: Results are adjusted for age and gender to give equal opportunity for recognition. \nThis format appeals to trail purists\, GPS navigators\, hikers and runners wanting a true wilderness challenge without any en-route support or markings. \n\nWhat Runners Receive\nTypical inclusions for registered runners in PANIKOT: \n\nDigital finisher and participation certificates\nPlants instead of medals or goodies\nCommunity-style local trail running memories\n\nNote: As the race is self-supported\, there are no traditional aid stations or race water supplies – runners must carry their own hydration and nutrition. \n\nWhy PANIKOT Stands Out\n\nMinimalist Trail Race: Designed for self-sufficiency and navigation skills.\nNatural Trails & Lakes: Routes run through the forests and lake edges of the Damdama-Panikot region.\nNavigation-First: Runners use GPX and GPS-based apps to stay on course.\nEqual Opportunity Results: Results normalised for age and gender.\nSustainable & Community-Driven: Focus on low impact and trail stewardship.

SUMMARY:Niti MTB Challenge 2026
DESCRIPTION:High-Altitude Mountain Biking in the Himalayas\nThe 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. \nWhether 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. \n\nEvent Overview\nEvent: Niti MTB Challenge 2026 Date: 30 May 2026 Race Location: Niti Valley\, Chamoli\, Uttarakhand Base Camp: Joshimath\, Uttarakhand Organised by: Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board Powered by: Bikes Station Haldwani (Est. 2012) Bike Type: Only MTB (Mountain Terrain Bikes) allowed Helmet: Mandatory — No Helmet\, No Ride \n\nAbout Niti Valley\nNiti Valley is one of the last truly wild Himalayan valleys in India.
