Adi Kailash Parikrama Run 2025

Event Overview

The first-ever Adi Kailash Parikrama Run is an ultra marathon proudly organised by the Uttarakhand Tourism Department. Set amid the awe-inspiring Himalayan borderlands, this event celebrates endurance, spirituality, and the majestic beauty of the Vyasa Valley near Adi Kailash, ranging between 10,300 and 15,000 feet above sea level.

Scheduled in November 2025, this ultra marathon offers runners a transformative experience — combining the rigor of high-altitude racing with the serene backdrop of sacred pilgrimage landscapes. Join a community of athletes on trails that challenge your stamina and invite reflection, testing both mental grit and physical strength.

Whether you seek the ultimate endurance test in the 60KM ultra, or prefer one of the shorter 42KM, 21KM, 10KM, or 5KM races, each course takes you through scenic valleys, rugged mountain paths, and culturally rich villages unique to Uttarakhand’s heritage.

Beyond competition, this event is designed as a celebration of vibrant village culture and border adventure tourism, aiming to inspire youth towards healthy lifestyles and promote sustainable mountain tourism.

Prepare to challenge your limits while immersed in a race like no other — where faith, fitness, and wilderness unite in an extraordinary Himalayan journey.
