The Vagamon Ultrail is an ultra trail marathon organized by Soles of Cochin, in the hills of Vagamon, the only one of its kind in Kerala. Vagamon Ultrail offers three categories in the 2020 edition - Fun Run, 60 Kilometers & 90 Kilometers.


Fun Run - The Fun Run is a new category in the 2020 edition – primarily for those who wants to run their first trail race. It is an out and back route on our course taking runners through the tea estates, slush & single path trails. Believe us, it will be tough and will definitely get you addicted to trail running. The fun will start and finish at St. Thomas LP School, Pullikkanam at 09:00 AM and last 33 Kilometers. There is no stage cut-off and final cut-off. Everyone who finishes will be awarded medal and timing. 

60K - The 60K run starts at Orchidarium and is a point to point course taking runners through the most beautiful locales in Vagamon while still posing enough challenges for a regular marathon runner. The course takes you through different terrains and will finish at St. Thomas LP School Pullikanam. The course will have a cumulative elevation gain of 2100m.

90K - The 90K run will start at St. Thomas LP School Pullikanam and take the reverse of the 60K until Orchidarium, and then take a different route on return to the finish line. 90K will finish at where it started and will have an elevation gain of 3300m.

After assessing last edition's finisher to start ratio, we have decided to modify the Qualification criteria for Vagamon Ultrail 2020. The emphasis has always been on proper training and preparedness for a good trail experience and not for making the race entry difficult for participants.
