Overview
The Tata Ultra Marathon takes runners through Lonavala, India, on 21 February 2027 for a 50-kilometre road race. With a 6-hour limit, the cut-off is tighter than 98% of 50k events and more generous than only 2%, leaving no room for an easy jog. Participants must hold an average pace of at least 7.2 minutes per kilometre across 850 metres of elevation gain—averaging 17 metres of climbing per kilometre—to beat the clock.
Organised by Striders Miles Pvt. Ltd., the paved route passes landmarks including Bhushi Dam, INS Shivaji, Lions Point, Shivling Point, Monkey Point, and forts such as Peth Shahapur, Morgiri, Tungi, and Tikona, alongside views of Pawna Lake. With 24 finishers in 2025, the race draws a relatively quiet cohort: its field is smaller than 62% of 50k races and bigger than 37%.
