Niti MTB Challenge 2026
2026-05-30 | Uttarakhand, Kumaon, Uttarakhand, India
High-Altitude Mountain Biking in the Himalayas
The 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.
Whether 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.

About Niti Valley
Niti Valley is one of the last truly wild Himalayan valleys in India. Nestled in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand and sitting close to the Indo-Tibetan border, it is a region of staggering beauty — ancient mountain villages, dramatic gorges, high-altitude meadows, and landscapes that very few cyclists ever get to experience.
The race route connects the villages of Malari (3,100 m) and Gamshali (3,350 m), taking riders through terrain that is as challenging as it is breathtaking. This is border tourism at its finest — adventurous, purposeful, and deeply connected to the communities that call these mountains home.

Trail Ultra Running in the Coffee Estate Hills
Bison Ultra is an exclusive and scenic trail ultramarathon set inside the private coffee estates of Yercaud, Tamil Nadu – offering runners a chance to run rugged, green trails with meaningful elevation and nature immersion. Organised by KaysFIT Academy under the vision of Coach Kay (founder of OotyUltra), this event blends tough terrain, beautiful backdrops and a community-focused ultra experience.
Known for its challenging course and limited field, Bison Ultra draws trail-runners who want more than a road race: a test of strength, resilience and mindful exploration.

Why Bison Ultra Stands Out

Exclusive Trail Setting: Runs inside a private coffee plantation, giving a race atmosphere unlike many public courses.
ITRA Points: The 60K and 45K categories are ITRA registered, so participating runners earn international trail ranking points.
Limited Field: The event keeps runner numbers low to ensure quality support, good logistics, and a community feel.

Participant Experience
All participants typically receive:✔ Official race T-shirt✔ Finisher medal (within cut-off times)✔ Timing support (gun time recorded)✔ Aid stations with hydration & nutrition✔ Race-day support from volunteers and crew✔ A strong trail-community vibe focused on safety and camaraderie

This is where road fitness meets its first real hill test – and where disciplined runners separate themselves through smart effort and endurance.

About Kargil Vijay Diwas
On 26 July 1999, the Indian Armed Forces successfully concluded Operation Vijay, recapturing every peak infiltrated by Pakistani soldiers in the Kargil, Dras, and Batalik sectors of Jammu & Kashmir. The operation lasted nearly three months under extreme terrain and weather conditions. More than 650 Indian soldiers laid down their lives in defence of the nation’s territorial integrity.
Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed every year to honour their supreme sacrifice and to remind the nation of their unmatched valour. Running on this day is the community’s way of saying — we remember, we are grateful, and we will never forget.
