Race Route

Dhanaulti and the surrounding Tehri region offer a spectacular setting for a mountain-running event.At Dhanaulti Tehri Ultra, every climb demands effort, every descent requires control, and every kilometre becomes a test of determination. 

The landscape combines winding mountain roads, forested stretches, green valleys, and panoramic mountain views. However, beneath the natural beauty lies a demanding environment that tests both physical endurance and mental resilience.

Mountain running introduces unique physiological challenges. As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, reducing the partial pressure of oxygen available for breathing. This can increase the demands placed on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, making sustained running more challenging.
