Unfinished business. Starting this race report on a dramatic note may have piqued your interest already. Backstory: The रथी-महारथीs of our running group started running the various races at the Sinhaga-Rajgad-Torna (SRT) trail ultra marathon in 2019. What started with a couple of folks became a mass movement with most people from the group participating…

Preamble I recently participated in the non-ultra 25km race as part of SRT (Sinhagad-Rajgad-Torna) ultra marathon. The 25km route starts from Sinhagad base and ends at Rajgad base at Gunjawane village.

This (2019) has been a great running year. I logged the most KMs this year. I was regular (barring the 30-days gap in October after an accident) and consistent. One of the highlights was changes in diet to include more of a few foods and actively monitor what I was eating. I was not really…

Apart from my perfect world reasoning, I have figured out another reason to register for and run races. Change of scenery. Simple. Every day running in the same neighborhood, hunting for a new route to trod under your weathered running shoes starts to become a challenge. Within a couple of years once you start running.…

These are some really long notes about SCMM and running.Sometimes I think in my perfect world I would never register for races. Nor would I travel to different places just to be able to run in an organized fashion. Its not my perfect world, and hence for above reasons I take decisions from time to…

Pune running is an active bunch of amateur runners in Pune city. PRBM (pune run beyond myself) is the flagship charity event organized by this group along the lovely route of NCL/Pashan/Bavdhan (if you know your bearings around Pune you will know what I mean).After the hyderabad running nightmare I really wanted to run a half…

I can see this blog is slowly becoming a place to document running events. But as long as I keep on writing here, no one’s loss right ?The Satara Hill Marathon is an elite ultra marathon event in Maharashtra, which only in its 3rd year has already become famous for some superlative arrangements for runners and…
