Highlights
Travelers and participants can include this marathon as a part of their tour. The itinerary can be planned to include the marathon prior to or post your visit to Kerala/Munnar. We would suggest having a pre-marathon visit itinerary as it would provide you with an opportunity to get acclimatized to the conditions prevalent and get set for the marathon.
Overview
Marathon
The 41.2 km track takes you through tea plantations, Shola forests and some of the scenic locales in Munnar. The varying gradient track takes you to a maximum altitude of 1850m MSL, which in itself is a tiring task, but definitely not impossible if you make up your mind. Refreshment points will be arranged every 4 Kms to keep you hydrated and fit throughout the race. Course marshals and backup vehicles will always be there to assist in case of need. Barefoot runners please note that you will have to maneuver through unpaved, tractor-able roads. Please be prepared for this.
The race information has been found on the official website of the event or through publicly available sources. Always refer to the official website the latest race information. Please let us know if any data is wrong or missing, by emailing us.
