The first edition of ‘Hyderabad Ultra Marathon’ will be held on November 5.

Organised by NEB Sports Entertainment Pvt Ltd in association with Quest for Excellence Gopichand Academy and Physical Literacy Days, the course is meant to be tough, giving the extra challenge to regular marathoners. The marathon will have categories of 50K, 25K, 12.5K and 5K Swachch Bharat Run, informed a statement from the organisers on Thursday.

Pullela Gopichand will be the face of the event. “The response to the event has been encouraging with over 8,000 people expected to run on the race day,” said Gopichand.

“India needs to foster a culture of sports, fitness and health among the country’s young and old alike, and it’s events like these that will go a long way in achieving this objective. I’m delighted to be a part of this initiative,” he said.

The run will begin from Gachibowli Stadium and move through Financial district, up Movie Tower and back.
