Current Summary
The Uttarakhand government is planning a 100-mile ultra marathon from Mana Pass to Auli, aimed at promoting adventure sports, boosting tourism in border villages and creating local employment. CM Pushkar Singh Dhami has given in-principle approval for the proposed event, and the Tourism Department is preparing its framework, following the recent Adi Kailash Parikrama Run 2.0 held in Pithoragarh. Under the proposed plan, the race would begin at Mana Pass, at an altitude of nearly 18,000 feet, and conclude in Auli via Mana village and Pandukeshwar, covering around 100 miles (about 161 km), though the final route and elevation details are yet to be confirmed. Tourism Secretary Dhiraj Garbyal said the event is being planned on the Chief Minister's directions and that the department aims to attract international runners, support teams and coaches, generating business for local homestays, hotels, transport operators and food services.
