Whats new in 2026?

Race Day

• Race day is the second Saturday of January.

Distance

• Old 75K is the new 60K.

• 36K and 10K Trail Walk remains the same.

BIB Distribution

• To avoid rush in the evening, we will be distributing BIBs from 11AM to 5:30PM on the pre-race day (9-Jan-2026) at St. Thomas LP School, Pullikanam.

Start Point

• Start Point is College of Dairy Science and Technology, Kolahalamedu for 36K & 60K.

• Start Point is St. Thomas LP School, Pullikanam for 10K Trail Walk.

Finish Point

• Same as last year. All races now  finish at St. Thomas LP School Pullikanam.

Travel & Accommodation

• Buses will start from Kochi as early as 10AM.  This is beneficial for people who reach Kochi earlier to take the first buses to Vagamon.

Briefing Location

• This year the briefing location is St. Thomas LP School Pullikanam, which is the finish point for all race categories.

Medals

• Same as last year.

• Medal is made of coir. Even though it's not bio degradable due to the processing it has undergone, believe us - we have taken a leaf or two out of the 5Rs of sustainability in the best possible way!

South India Trail Grail

• We're now collaborators of the South India Trail Grail Challenge.
