Anamalai Trail Ultra 2026
Anamalai Trail Ultra is a destination-style endurance running event built around the distinctive coconut landscape and lake-front. It brings together runners, crews and families through a professionally managed ultra experience — rooted in its local setting, presented to a global audience.
This isn't a runners-only race. The runner is the athlete; the crew and family are part of the experience. A compact looped course of approximately 5 km, running predominantly through mud trails, keeps the whole event concentrated, spectator-friendly, and genuinely rural. It's built around the grove itself as the natural stage for the race.
"Run through the natural landscape. Bring your people. Spend the day outdoors."
