Description

Great Himalayan Running Festival 2021

"Extreme temperatures to test you.
A cold desert as your playground.
Himalayan rivers and streams to keep you company.
High altitude passes to challenge your grit.
Bare mountain faces and blue skies to mesmerise you.
Thinner air to make your lungs gasp.
And some love for the open road! "
Runners,
Welcome to the Great Himalayan Running Festival 2021! Join us as we celebrate running for a week on the roads from Manali to Leh. Choose from a variety of categories -- Run a marathon per day, a 50 km all uphill ultra to Rohtang or explore your limits through a full 480km Ultra on the highest road in the world.
Relax after the grueling day's run & indulge yourself in this festival of running. Athletes, runners and endurance sports experts from across the globe drop by to share their part of runs at the festival. Talks & Conversations with accomplished athletes, adventure movies, survival stories from locals, folk music & much more -- we try to make it one hell of a running festival in the Himalaya.
Races
Hell Ultra
Run the entire 480km distance from Manali to Leh on the toughest & the highest highway in the world.
Manali – Leh highway is considered and is one of the toughest highways around the world because of the high altitude and harsh weather. The highway is closed and covered in snow for almost six months. When the BRO opens these passes in June and the roads are fresh out of snow, this highway is a heaven to run and assimilate what all nature has to offer. The average altitude is higher than 4000m & Oxygen levels dip to 40-60% on passes. Covering 480 km on foot in just over 120 hours that too at such high altitude is definitely not for the weak of will!
Distance: 480 KM
Elevation Gain: 10000 Meter
Cut-Off Time: 120 Hrs
Eligibility Criteria: Runner should have finished a hundred miler between 1st July 2019 to 1st June 2021 within 24 hrs in plains and within 34 hrs in mountains.
The High 5’s
The Hell Ultra - 480km might appear formidable to some and downright crazy to most, but for those of us who just wish to get a taste of running at high altitudes, the Great Himalayan Running Festival has got the Great Himalayan stage run – The High 5’s.
Run five full marathons on five consecutive days from Manali to Leh on the toughest & the highest road in the world. The idea behind The High 5’s is to celebrate running not only as a sport, but also as a lifestyle; to provide a platform for runners from all around the world to meet, to run together, share their experiences of surviving in the toughest conditions and overcoming barriers. The remotest highway with the harshest conditions and the most beautiful landscapes the country has to offer -- The High 5’s is a complete package!
Distance: 5 Marathons
Elevation Gain: 4250 Meter
Cut-Off Time: 40 Hrs(Cumulative)
Eligibility Criteria: Runner should have finished at least 2 marathons between 1st July 2019 to 1st June 2021 within 5 hrs.
Rohtang Epic
One just can’t express the challenges of a race till someone experiences it. After running the first Hell Ultra, we thought it would be great to help experience a wide variety of runners the hell Hell Ultra stands for. Hence, came the advent of an all uphill ultra we aspiringly call The Rohtang Epic -- a 50km race starting from Manali and going all the way up till Rohtang Pass with an elevation gain of 2000m.
Distance: 50 KM
Elevation Gain: 2000 Meter
Cut-Off Time: 10 Hrs
Eligibility Criteria: Runner should have finished at least 2 marathons between 1st July 2019 to 1st June 2021 within 5 hrs.
