Dear #ultramalaivasi runner,
Congratulations on signing up for the fifth edition of OOTYULTRA scheduled on 3-Apr-2022, Sunday. I would like to extend a warm to you for taking a step forward in becoming a #ultramalaivasi. April is not far away anymore and I’m also happy to have you back if you are a returning runner.

Comrades Marathon 2019 runners from KaysFIT Academy
Did you know that the OOTYULTRA course was originally designed to be a 60k training run course for 3 of my academy members who were training for the Comrades Marathon in 2018?
OOTYULTRA since then has transformed into a dream flagship ultramarathon event launched under the KaysFIT Academy banner, with a vision to provide a beautiful #ultramalaivasi running experience to beginners to the experienced ultramarathoners.
The Nilgiris District is a plastic-free zone and, note you are not allowed to carry plastic water bottles when you are traveling. Please go through the note in a separate section below regarding this. OOTYULTRA is committed to contributing to the Nilgiris District and has contributed Rs. 1,00,000 to the Nilgiris district collector towards building sporting infrastructure. (see news here)
OOTY is such a scenic hill town located 2240 m above sea level. OOTYULTRA is a tough race due to its steep climbs and downhill terrain combined with a harsh daytime sun that can lower your spirits.
Most first-time runners may find it extremely difficult to run but that’s what makes OOTYULTRA tough, interesting, and challenging. As you may already know, hill running, in general, can be very technical and demanding but through experience and proper training, one can gain mastery. There were many runners in the past editions who came and conquered the #ultramalaivasi challenge.
