Sahil sharma , an ultra runner from Jammu finished the Pune ultra marathon with a distance of 100 kms. With this feat he has now joined the class of elite runners in the country.
Pune ultra marathon is a one of a kind event with an amalgamated route of Trail, Gradients, Roads and Hill slopes to provide an ultimate endurance test. The route boasts of hills, running alongside a canal on a mud path, a village trail across fields, an ancient temple with a beautiful water body, custard apple orchards, and some villages, all in all with the Western Ghats looming ahead.
The world of ultra running takes runners to some of the most idyllic locations, where the distance and environment present the perfect test for one’s endurance. At present there are very few 100 k runs organised in India and completing an ultra run of 100 k takes a lot of grit and determination. It is an ultimate test of a runners resilience.
