On 22 November 2025, the Malnad Ultra returns to the scenic Malnad region in Karnataka, staging a trail event that appeals to both novice and experienced ultra runners. Participants can choose from 30 km, 50 km (daytime), 50 km (nighttime), and the full 100 km ultra, which is essentially two loops of the 50 km course. The terrain is rugged and varied — coffee plantation trails, forest tracks, rolling hills, single-track sections, and connecting paths — with total elevation gains tailored to each distance. The coffee estate setting provides lush greenery, shade, and occasional technical segments, making this a memorable trail experience. As one of India’s notable trail ultras, it draws runners seeking both endurance challenge and natural beauty.
