Runner Village - Deccan Ultra

Runners’ Village is an idea born out of our passion for running, given shape by the observations we’ve had over the years. Runners often face logistical challenges, especially in offbeat runs and off-season runs. And even if accommodations are available, finding one that meets their budget and location requirements can be a daunting task that takes the focus off running. Not to miss, the joy of staying in the middle of nature in a village raised exclusively for fellow runners and their companions is an experience best lived, and not described. The Runners’ Village is a concept village built exclusively for the runners.

The Runners Village is the idea of extending co-running to co-living during the duration of Deccan Ultra (16th to 18th February 2018) in a makeshift village for runners and those who accompany them for the event.

Here’s some more information on the village:

• It will include accommodation for 100 people.
• The accommodation will be avilable on twin sharing basis unless opted otherwise.
• These will be Eco-friendly tented accommodations with all basic amenities including eco-toilets, charging facilities, sleeping bags, pillows, and food.
• Two meals (freshly prepared) and evening snacks will be provided to all the guests every day during the duration of their stay.
• The village is a temporary community being raised especially for the event. After the event, it shall be dismantled, and its space returned to nature, until next year.
