The race begins at the iconic Ridge, Shimla, surrounded by the city’s timeless charm and colonial architecture. As you take your first strides downhill past Shimla’s historic buildings, the crisp mountain air and breathtaking views set the tone for an unforgettable run.

For the 5KM Runners :

You’ll head down to a turning point and loop back up to The Ridge — a short yet exhilarating climb that’s sure to get your heart racing!

For the 10KM and Half Marathoners :

Your journey continues downhill all the way to Annadale Army Area, passing the lush green Gooseberry Forests and scenic Glen Area. Just when you begin to find your rhythm, the real challenge begins: an intense 11 km uphill climb that will test your grit and endurance.

You’ll pass landmarks like Vidhan Sabha, Himachal ITI, and near HP University, where a sharp U-turn awaits. From there, it’s a final push — a steady uphill climb back to The Ridge, where the finish line for 10km awaits and for 21km runners journey continues to climb jakhu hills through oakover and forest road and from Jakhu hills it’s a final downhill push to the The Ridge.
