Ultra Marathon in Rajasthan: India’s Toughest Race at Jaisalmer Border
India is all set to host its toughest ultra marathon this December at the Jaisalmer border in Rajasthan. This extreme event will challenge athletes to run 160 kilometers in the harsh desert conditions, with only 28 hours to complete the distance.
The marathon is designed not just as a test of speed but of endurance, mental strength, and survival skills. The desert’s scorching daytime heat and freezing night temperatures make it one of the most dangerous running tracks in the country.
Athletes from across India and several other countries are expected to participate. Medical teams, hydration points, and rest zones will be set up along the route, but runners will still need to rely heavily on their stamina and preparation.
The event also aims to promote adventure tourism in Rajasthan and highlight the unique landscape of the Thar Desert. Organizers believe this ultra marathon will soon gain international recognition as one of the toughest desert runs in the world.
This December, Jaisalmer will not just be a tourist hotspot but also a stage for athletes to prove their endurance and courage.
