UTMB Qualifying Race 2019 - 3 Points for 50K category

Website: www.wgrf.in 

Introducing the run of the ancient route which connects the Sinhagad-Rajgad-Torna forts, more popularly known today as “SRT”. This route will be the magnum opus of trail and mountain running 50K marathon routes of Pune, Maharashtra and its surrounding areas. The SRT route has been used in the past as a catalyst in commuting, trading, and farming apart from being the battleground for many kings who ruled these mountains. Of these, Rajgad fort was Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's capital in the 17th century.

The SRT trail is now a heritage walk, with the magnificent Sinhagad, Rajgad and Torna forts standing tall in between this route, each reflecting stories of the rich and glorious history of Pune.

In this day and age, a new stage is set - a new battle to conquer these ancient Sinhagad-Rajgad-Torna forts in the form of a high voltage, endurance filled Pune's toughest 50K mountain running marathon!
