DESCRIPTION 

Run Pirangut Run is a half Marathon with a mixture of trails and roads which starts and finishes at Pirangut Village, Mulshi Taluka.

It's a multi-terrain race, mixing sections of road and trail running, just a few KMs away from Pune City. A perfect race to start your trail running adventures and test your speed on challenging terrain.

For beginners, we have a 5KM or 10KM route, and for experienced runners, we have an enduring 21KM half marathon. Running or walking these routes is suitable for the whole family. Each Kilometer will be accurately marked with orange-colored ribbons, along with plenty of volunteers on the route to keep you on track and encourage you on your way to the finishing line.

There's no pressure to run on these hills. Instead, you can catch your breath and sack up the scenery before letting gravity carry you through downhills, re-energizing you for the flatter sections.

So choose your run from the three distance categories and join us for the exciting Run Pirangut Run Hill Half Marathon.
