With the ultra trail running event set to be held in Paderu in December, participants start training to take on the challenge of its scenic valleys and picturesque hills
Runners from Visakhapatnam have been busy concocting the perfect challenge. This December they will host the Ultribe-Paderu — the first ever ultra trail running event of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, set to be held in the Eastern Ghats.
An ultra marathon is all about ultimate endurance and regular training; running more than 42.2 kilometres is no mean task. The run also takes participants to some of the world’s most idyllic locations, where terrain and environment together pose a bracing challenge. Ultribe-Paderu, organised by the Visakha Trail Running Association (VTRA), promises to have a trail for everyone, from beginners to endurance runners, in a unique geographical terrain.
