About the race

SOHNA By CapitalTrails (2026) opens up a section of trail that is rarely used or explored in the historic Aravalli mountain range. This unique, self-supported adventure offers a challenging and wildly fun experience through untamed wilderness, testing your mettle and trail running prowess.

Building on the self-sufficient race format established by the CapitalTrails Community, this edition adds new elements while maintaining the core ethos of self-sufficiency, sustainability, and Leave No Trace.

Event Details:

  • Date: Sunday, November 1, 2026
  • Assembly Time: 6:30 AM
  • Race Start Time: 7:00 AM
  • Location: Aravalli Retreat (Opp. Pathways World School), Gangani, Haryana

Race Categories:

  • Short (~10 KM): Ideal for runners and hikers alike.
  • Long (~25 KM): An adrenaline-packed trail journey.
  • Ultra (~50 KM): An ultramarathon testing limits without external aid (includes a mid-way drop-bag refueling point).
  • Relay: An Ekiden-style, 2-person relay race where teammates tackle the long distance sequentially.

Registrations are strictly limited to 30 participants per distance category on a first-in-first-out waitlist confirmation basis.

Self-Supported Race Guidelines

SOHNA By CapitalTrails is 100% self-supported. Participants must bring all required gear, fuel, and hydration.

For non-Ultra categories (10 KM and 25 KM), there is no on-route support (no aid stations, water supply, route markings, or finish-line feasts). Organizers provide GPX files and volunteers at select checkpoints.

For the Ultra (50 KM) category, a drop bag facility is available at the start/finish area (half-way point). Participants must replenish supplies before heading back onto the trails. Drop bags should carry required gear and hydration (e.g., 2 liters of water) for the next section.

Checkpoint Volunteers and QR Code Scanning

There are no physical route markings. Volunteers at checkpoints carry QR codes that participants must scan using the Webscorer app on their phones in correct sequential order for finish timings to be valid.

Important Information for Relay Participants

If signing up for the Relay category without a partner, participants will be randomly assigned one. If registering with a teammate, register individually and email [email protected] with team name and partner name.

How the Relay Works:

  • First runner starts at race gun time while the second runner waits.
  • First runner passes the baton upon completing their section, and the second runner begins.
  • Cutoff for the first leg is 5 hours (12:00 PM), and overall team cutoff is 10 hours (5:00 PM).
  • Transition time counts toward the total completion time.

Mandatory Gear Requirements

Strict gear checks will be conducted. Missing gear results in immediate cancellation of participation and assignment to volunteer duties.

  • Hydration: At least 1L for Short category; at least 2L of water/electrolytes for Long and Relay categories, and minimum 2L per 25 KM section for Ultra.
  • Nutrition & Fuel: Energy-packed supplies (gels, candy, nuts, carbs).
  • Mobile Phone: Fully charged for navigation and QR code scanning.
  • Downloaded GPX File: Used with apps like Gaia GPS or OsmAnd for route navigation.
  • Webscorer App: Required for tracking checkpoint QR codes and race timing.

Trail Running Etiquette

  • Share the Trail: Greet fellow runners, hikers, and locals.
  • Leave No Trace: Littering results in immediate disqualification.
  • Wildlife Protection: Do not disturb or run from wildlife; stop and hold position if encountered.
  • Camaraderie: Respect fellow runners. Unsporting behavior results in immediate disqualification.
