SUMMARY:Bhatti Lakes Ultra 2026
DESCRIPTION:“Running far makes you an ultrarunner. But finishing with precision exactly when you said you would? That’s what makes you elite.” — Kavitha Kanaparthi\, Race Director \n \nThe Bhatti Lakes Ultra is one of India’s most iconic and unforgiving ultra running events — a proving ground carved into the rocky\, sun-scorched trails of the Aravalli range\, just 30 km from Delhi. Now in its 13th edition\, this GlobeRacers event runs across 23–25 October 2026\, offering distances from 20 KM all the way to a brutal 200 KM — making it one of the longest and most demanding ultra events on the Indian running calendar. \nStarted as GlobeRacers’ second-ever race\, the Bhatti Lakes Ultra has grown into a legend. No spectators. No shortcuts. No distractions. Just you\, your grit\, and a trail that never ends. \nAbout the Course\nThe Bhatti Lakes Ultra is set in the unforgiving terrain of the Aravalli range — one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. The loop-format course takes runners through rocky sections\, sandy patches that test footing\, thorny paths\, troughs\, gorges\, and stretches of trail with zero shade cover where the midday sun beats down relentlessly. \n \nConditions: Mid-to-high 30s °C during the day\, dropping to the teens at night. Dehydration\, sunburn\, and dizzy spells are real risks for the unprepared. \nThis is not a comfortable race. It is a complete test of body and mind — and that is precisely why runners come back for it year after year. \n\nRace Categories & Schedule\nXTrail Categories\n\n\n\n\nDistance\nDate\nStart Time\nCut-off\n\n\n\n\n20 KM\n25 October 2026\n6:00 AM\n9:30 AM (3 hr 30 min)\n\n\n30 KM\n25 October 2026\n6:00 AM\n11:20 AM (5 hr 20 min)\n\n\n\n\nUltra Categories\n\n\n\n\nDistance\nDate\nStart Time\nCut-off\n\n\n\n\n50 KM\n24 October 2026\n6:00 AM\n2:00 PM (8 hours)\n\n\n80 KM\n24 October 2026\n6:00 AM\n8:00 PM (14 hours)\n\n\n100 KM\n24 October 2026\n6:00 AM\n10:00 PM (16 hours)\n\n\n24 Hours\n24 October 2026\n6:00 AM\n25 Oct\, 6:00 AM\n\n\n160 KM\n23 October 2026\n5:00 PM\n25 Oct\, 9:00 PM (28 hours)\n\n\n200 KM\n23 October 2026\n5:00 PM\n25 Oct\, 4:00 AM (35 hours)\n\n\n\n\nNote: In the 24-hour category\, runners must cover a minimum of 120 KM to qualify for a finisher medal. \n  \nEligibility Requirements\n\n\n\n\nDistance\nMinimum Qualification\n\n\n\n\n50 KM\nMinimum 2 full marathons\n\n\n80 KM\nMinimum 2 completed 50 KM ultra marathons\n\n\n100 KM\nMinimum 2 completed 50 KM + 1 completed 75 KM+ ultra\n\n\n160 KM\nMinimum 1 completed 100 KM ultra (timed finish)\n\n\n200 KM\nMinimum 2 completed 160 KM ultra (timed finishes)\n\n\n\n\nNo eligibility requirement for the 20 KM and 30 KM XTrail categories. \n\nWhat’s Included\n\nAid station support every 5 km — water\, ice\, electrolytes\, fruit\, energy drinks\, salty snacks\, candy\, and medical aid\nStove facility at the start for runners and crew to prepare hot food\, coffee\, and tea\n️ Tents at the start point aid station for 200 KM\, 160 KM\, and 100 KM runners and their crew\nNight-time route safety and support\nFinisher medal and digital certificate\nFirst aid and medical support at aid stations\nWater and basic food for registered crew members with crew tags\n\nNot included: Personal crew\, personal food and gear\, tents for other categories\, transport to/from race venue or race city. \n \n\nDrop Bags\n\n\n\n\nDistance\nDrop Bags Allowed\n\n\n\n\n200 KM\n4 drop bags\n\n\n160 KM\n4 drop bags\n\n\n100 KM\n2 drop bags\n\n\n80 KM\n2 drop bags\n\n\n50 KM\n1 drop bag\n\n\n\n\n\nCrew & Pacing Rules\n\n100-mile runners must be accompanied by a minimum of 2 crew members\n200 KM runners must be accompanied by a minimum of 4 crew members\nCrew members must be registered at least two weeks before race day to receive their crew tags — no crew member will be allowed on the route without a registered crew tag\nNo vehicular support is permitted on the route except for organiser vehicles\n50 KM\, 80 KM\, 100-mile\, and 200 KM participants must carry mandatory night running gear: headlamp or torchlight\, reflective vest or armband\, and a whistle\n\n\nMandatory Gear & Medical\nAll participants must undergo a complete medical check covering all vitals at least one week before the race\, and receive clearance from their physician to run. \nRunners in all ultra categories should carry headlamps\, reflective gear\, and a whistle as mandatory equipment.

SUMMARY:Summit Run - Lurntsu Circuit 2026
DESCRIPTION:Summit Run – Lurntsu Circuit (SRLC) is the third race in the Summit Run Series\, following Indrahar and Sethan–Hamta. Set deep in the forested trails of the Tehri–Garhwal Himalayas\, the race offers runners a raw\, immersive mountain running experience across ridgelines\, meadows\, and remote high-altitude terrain. \nWhat makes SRLC truly unique is that it is the only trail race that includes an overnight camping experience. Participants arrive a day early and stay at a forest campsite near Deolsari\, creating a rare blend of trail running and mountain camping. The race is not just about race day performance\, but about slowing down\, acclimatising\, connecting with the mountains\, and sharing the trail-running spirit around a campfire before the start. \nDesigned for both seasoned trail runners and those stepping up to longer mountain distances\, SRLC offers multiple race categories while staying rooted in the ethos of mountain endurance\, community\, and responsible trail running. \nEvent date & Location\nDate: 5 December 2026 (Saturday)\n Start & Finish: Deolsari Forest Rest House\, Uttarakhand\, India\n Race Start: Early morning (typically around 4:00 AM – 5:00 AM local)\n Organiser: Boots & Crampons Pvt.
