I am part of an event company that organizes running events in India, Asia. Famous by the name of "The Hell Race", this company conducts ultra running events at many places across India during entire year.
After Covid-19, many races were stopped in India and the same happened in Aravalli. Aravalli is very close to Delhi-NCR region so we thought why not show the runners the real Aravalli with lakes, villages and wild animals.
So we reached Aravalli to find an adventures route for a new race, which we will call "The Red Stone Ultra". We saw the 50 km long trail on foot, understood and finalized it for the race and after a few days we roam for another route to get a glimpse of 30km route category.
In this category, the runners will have to run in a circle which will be 50 km long.
Somewhere the path will be a jeep track, somewhere it will be a single foot trail and somewhere it will be sandy or dusty.
The lakes that you are seeing in the photos are made by humans. They are artificial. Once upon a time, people started digging Aravalli's land for money, the stone and soil that came out while digging, people kept selling it and filling their pockets with money.
Aravalli is said to be the oldest mountain range in the world. It is spread over about 600 km, almost covered 4 states of north india. Wild animals are also found here in abundance. Leopards, jackals, foxes, rabbits, peacocks, camels, snakes and a variety of birds are found in large numbers.
