    BIR HALF MARATHON – EXPERIENCE HISTORY ENSHRINED IN ADVENTURE

    The Bir Half Marathon is the only half marathon by The Hell Race. The fact that The Hell Races are humongous distances and terrific challenges has become word of mouth, and we have wanted to break free from this stereotype, for The Hell Races were never meant to fit into one category or typecast. The Bir Half Marathon at the Bir Running Festival started this journey for us, way back in 2015. From having hosted this short-distance road race to being able to create some of the most looked-after and challenging ultra marathons in India, we have proudly come a long way. Coming back to the historic hill station of Bir and getting to meet the short-distance road runners of India after a long time is something we are really excited about.
