Overview

Scheduled for August 2027 in Rajdari, Varanasi UP, India, the Rajdari Monsoon Ultra - Varanasi Edition covers 76km on road with 574 meters of climbing. That gentle gradient of 7.6 meters of ascent per kilometer pairs rolling road surfaces with an 11.1-minute-per-kilometer cutoff pace across the 14-hour limit.

This creates a time cap tighter than 56% of 50mi events and more generous than 44%, requiring steady pacing without demanding extreme speed. With only 2 finishers recorded in 2026, entrants face an unusually isolated course, competing in a field smaller than 98% of 50mi peers and bigger than just 1%.
