The sixth edition of the Pachmarhi Monsoon Marathon, organized by KA Connect (Adventures and You), is scheduled for July 21 (Sunday). Race director Mitesh Rambhia announced during a media briefing that the marathon is being conducted in collaboration with the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board. Known as one of India’s most scenic marathons, this annual event draws participants and fitness enthusiasts from across the nation.
Runners from across the country have registered for this annual event. Due to lim-ited stay options in Pachmarhi, the organisers have kept a cap of only 1000 entries.
Rambhia informed that more than 650 runners have already registered for the mar- athon. The race categories in the event are 5-10-21-42 kms.
Rambhia said the 42 -km full marathon is one of the most enduring and difficult full marathon of India with an uphill run and an elevation gain of approx, 1000 metres.
All runs will be timed runs using RFID timing chip. All participants will get a timing chip, timing certificate, t-shirt, finishers medal, post race re- freshments and complete route support.
Last date of entries is July 10 and it can be done on www.townscript.com/e/pach-marhi-monsoon-marathon- 11221. Kevin Rambhia was also present during the press con- ference.
