Mussoorie, I Run Sports Management Pvt. Ltd. which has been organizing various running events in Leh Ladakh and Uttarakhand for the past 10 years, have come to Mussoorie, 2nd time in a row to organise an inaugural edition of the Mussoorie Jungle Trail on the 10th of March i.e. coming Sunday.

Close to 50 participants between the age group of 16-45 year old, from all over the country have signed up for the trail running event which will be flagged off from Jabarkhet tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. sharp. While the 12 km trail turns back from Matholi village,  the 24 kms longer trail culminates a little ahead of Kanda Jhak for the more adventurous lot.

Telling us more, Chetan Sehgal  from Team LA ULTRA informs Newspost, “Our aim is to promote the sport of running and more importantly, trail running among people. Not only will this help them to take up an active lifestyle but they will get to explore and connect with nature along the beautiful mountain trails.”

The La Ultra team boasts of hosting four events in a calendar year with the ‘La Ultra The High’ in Leh Ladakh which will take place from the 17th-23rd August this year.  Last year, on the 6th of October I Run sports management pvt ltd. held a successful Mussoorie Urban Trail with over a hundred participants taking part in the activity.  Looking for a repeat, a Mussoorie Urban Trail from Hathipaon to Bhadraj Temple sometime in October this year is being planned as well.  

As the La Ultra motto states, “Failing is not a crime, Lack of effort is.” If you looking to get-away and get-moving, then La Ultra Trails are your true calling as you push yourself completely in sync with nature, on trails which are breathtaking. 

Interested participants can register online on the La Ultra site: www.laultra.in, closer to the upcoming events.
