Stairway to Heaven - Pune to Panchgani Ultra Run

"If you want to run, run a Mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a Marathon. If you want to talk to God, run an Ultra."

The Ravine Run is all set to push the bar further in 2019. We have 10 Ultra Marathoners, who will be taking the 'Stairway to Heaven' - Pune to Panchgani Ultra Run. The runners will cover a distance of 101 kms in a single stage, which will see them run across 3 winding Ghats (Katraj, Khambatki and Pasarni) in the scenic Sahyadri Mountain Range. You will get a chance to interact with them on race day.
