Solang Sky Ultra: Shashwat Rao takes win in Candidate Race

Last weekend we also had the pleasure of the first Asia Trail Master Candidate Race in India! A large new country is slowly opening up to the trail running world and the Solang Sky Ultra in the “Hell Race series” is a great example of what India has to offer to ultra trail runners. The Solang valley is indeed very remote in the north of the country, but very rewarding and the event was a grand success. The Indian Himalayas saw amazing athletes prepared to grit it out on technical terrains. Perhaps the best known Indian runner in Asia and a Grandmaster to boot, Shashwat Rao, managed to win his home race in 23:21:04 for the 100K. The 60K was won by Nupur Singh in 9:46:48.

Stay tuned for more details on the Solang Sky race in 2020.
