Uncover History, Run the Ancient Trails of the Aravalli
Step onto trails as old as time itself. The Red Stone Ultra 2025 is a journey through India’s ancient geological marvel, the Northern Aravalli Range.

The Red Stone Ultra Story
It had been a while that the trail runners around Delhi NCR were looking for a true ultra trail experience, something that would match the raw, demanding vibe of a Hell Race. Our mission was to find and mark a trail in the Aravalli hills that would challenge runners, honor the spirit of trail running in India, and bridge cultural divides of the urban and rural in the Delhi NCR. By choosing the Haryana side of the Northern Aravalli, we discovered the perfect terrain close to the heart of India’s capital region and designed a route that promises both adventure and ease of access. We found one and called it the Red Stone Ultra and we hosted the first edition in the year 2022.
From the first year, Red Stone Ultra went beyond the finish line. The race brought Delhi NCR’s urban runners face-to-face with the rich Haryanvi rural culture, welcoming them with traditional hospitality and unique local experiences. The shared cultural exchanges, coupled with the challenging Aravalli terrain, shattered barriers between urban and rural lives, giving runners an unforgettable Indian trail race experience.
