The 10th Tekion Edition The Malnad Ultra is India’s largest trail ultra — a legendary running event set deep in the coffee-growing heartland of the Malnad region in South India. Taking place on Saturday, 28 November 2026 at GPL Ground, Mallanduru, Karnataka, the event offers trail runners four distinct categories ranging from 30 KM to 100 KM across rugged, scenic, and challenging terrain in the Western Ghats.
Unlike a city road race, The Malnad Ultra provides a true wilderness trail experience that is remote, demanding, and deeply rewarding. All categories start and finish at GPL Ground, Mallanduru. The 100 KM course consists of two loops of the 50 KM course, while the 50 KM Day and Night editions share the same course layout with different start times and cut-offs.
Key Event Details:
Registrations open at midnight on 1 August 2026 and close on 1 November 2026 or when category caps are reached — whichever comes first.
