One of the toughest marathon to run, in of the old cities of India, yes Hyderabad Marathon is back. Known for having the course which challenges most of the runners, including the elite slot, Hyderabad marathon is what challenges runners to participate. People participating this race, should be good enough to challenge the uphills in the course and weather changes.

But you don't have to, registration for the event has already began.

TCS 10k 2015 - Bengaluru Runs

TCS 10K Run will always be remembered as I started my love for running with this event. After registering for a majja run in 2011, I was so delighted to see people from all walks of life, all ages getting together and trying to face the challenge, there was no looking back. Well organized event within the city, expect a good crowd but all for the cause of running together.

This year event is scheduled on 17th May 2015. Running its 8th edition in the city, you shouldn't be missing the running fun. Also if not running, be part of the cheer group for any NGO and support them.

Registration has already began and slots are filling, make sure you get one ! Last date for registration for the event is 24th April or as soon as running slots fill.

Bengaluru Marathon 2014 - City's Own Marathon !

This October Bengaluru will witness its first even own Half and Full marathon. Many individual running groups have gathered to organise this event which would help Bengaluru'ens not wander around different cities to run their half and full marathons.

Also giving enough time to many, this event will be held on 19th October 2014 and course expected is from Kanteerava Stadium to Electronic City, which I see a flat course. With good practise in hand one must do their best.

More information and details regarding the registration are available on the site.

Hyderabad Marathon 2014 - Tough to Challenge !

Hyderabad will host the 4th edition on Airtel Hyderabad Marathon. I consider this one of the toughest run, having the most uphills in the course. Having run it last two year, I might well consider it making a hat-trick this time. Being treated with the broken wrist, I am just back practising again. 

Well for the folks considering some challenge should definitely pick up this marathon, well organised and good course.

Enduro 3 2014 Edition

Proclaiming to be one of the India's most challenging endurance adventure sport, Enduro3 to certain extent fits itself into this category. Running in its 12th edition, Enduro3 indeed puts a challenge to every one who wants to prove they are fit. Its a team event, each consisting of 3 players, with a mandate of 1 female player. Although last year this was relaxed for open category with all men category. It has different categories almost you can think of Open, Collegiate, Doctors etc. Race itself is again subdivided into different distances depending on the main categories like Open, Amateur etc. 

Few things to consider for this race, officials are present at the different points to note the details of your team, if you are last in the category or beyond the stipulated time considering the last second contestants, there is high chance you are eliminated from the race, you may in that case can choose to continue on your own risk. WATER !! and other basics needs are not provided in the race, in simple words race officials are not responsible for anything which comes up during the race, even when the case you are retired/eliminated from the race half way into the race. These things apart, this race by far means tests your endurance, finishing the race in itself is a good achievement and getting on to podium would be icing on the cake.
