Chennai Trail Ultra - 1 Edition
Event On - 10th Sep 2023
Description
The Chennai Trail Ultra is a non-profit initiative by the Chennai Trail Club aimed at promoting sports and a healthy, active lifestyle.
Join us for the Chennai Trail Ultra (CTU), the largest annual sports awareness event for trail runners. Scheduled for September 10th, this event attracts over 1000 runners from across the country who gather at Sholavaram Lake, north of Chennai. Known for its scenic trails and the exceptional spirit of volunteers, CTU offers a challenging and beautiful experience. The route spans various terrains, including dams, lakes, rivers, forests, canyons, and grasslands.
Terrain & Trail:
The running route of CTU is a mesmerizing multi-terrain experience. Runners will traverse dams, cashew farms, canyons, paddy fields, small villages, sandy riverbeds, and vast grasslands. The trail encompasses hard dirt tracks, red soil with small gravel, sand trails, sections of tar roads, and grasslands. Running on such uneven terrain demands heightened focus from runners, particularly for those participating in the 32 km/50 km Ultra race during dark hours. It is important to stay balanced and avoid venturing off the trail into water bodies or surrounding vegetation.
