BHATTI LAKES ULTRA 2025
BHATTI LAKES ULTRA – A GLOBERACERS' EVENT
"Running far makes you an ultrarunner.
But finishing with precision exactly when you said you would?
That's what makes you elite"
Overview
Where endurance meets intensity.
Held in the unforgiving trails of the Aravalli range, Bhatti Lakes Ultra is more than a race, it's a proving ground. With 11 editions testing hundreds of runners' grit, leaving them in tatters at times, the loop format tests the body and the mind. This race pushes runners through rocky terrain, sandy patches that tend to give the runner a slip, relentless heat, and complete isolation.
Started as Globeracers' second ever race, it has become one of India's most iconic ultra events, drawing seasoned athletes and first-time ultrarunners alike. There are no distractions here. No spectators. Just you, your grit, and the trail that never ends.
If you're looking to redefine your limits, this is where you come to break through them.
