GARHWAL HIGHLINE 2026

Garhwal Highline, formerly known as the Uttarkashi 135 Mile Ultra, makes its triumphant return to the lower Himalayas on December 25, 2026. This Globeracers mountain endurance race connects Rishikesh and Uttarkashi through a challenging landscape that tests both body and spirit.
Set against the backdrop of the Garhwal Himalayas, Garhwal Highline offers four distances—50 km, 100 km, 160 km, and 220 km—to cater to runners with varying levels of experience. The terrain is rugged, featuring long climbs and descents that are as much a part of the race's allure as its stunning mountain vistas.
The event presents unique challenges such as unpredictable weather conditions, cold nights, and extended hours on course. Runners must be prepared for rain, wet trails, and frosty temperatures, making self-sufficiency crucial. Each participant is responsible for their own hydration, nutrition, and gear support through a designated crew who will accompany them throughout the race.
Garhwal Highline celebrates those seeking more than just a conventional road race; it's an event for runners ready to tackle mountain ultras and embrace the unpredictable nature of high-altitude terrain. The longer distances extend into darkness, requiring participants to carry essential night-running equipment like headlamps and reflective vests.
This revival not only honors the rich history of Indian ultra running but also marks a new chapter in endurance racing. Garhwal Highline invites runners who are prepared for an unforgettable journey through some of India's most breathtaking mountain landscapes.
