Guys,

How many of you took part in today's Bengaluru Ultra run and how was your experience, timing and distance?

Reporting live... It super awesome this year... We all had a good run. 

A lot of our cycling friends - 
Neera Katwal got a podium finish in her category. 
Mohan and Ullas are running from Spectrum. Ullas is attempting the 100k and looked pretty strong.Mohan, as usual, smiled his way through a 25k.
Athreya, am told, did a 50k sub-4 hours.
Opendro missed podium by 36 seconds, thanks to his late start and he had to over take too many people on a single track. Damn! He did 25k in 2h8m.
Kiran and Ganapathy also completed 25k.
Shreyas and Dipankar completed 25k. 
I survived a 12.5k in some 2 hours 
I can see our Sharath Raju at the highline counter, doing pretty well with his barefoot venture. Lot of activities there. 

Rgds,

I was aiming for a sub 3hr,probably running in VFF and not keeping track of time helped.

Ultra was rockin...when they said "Its Tough.Are you?" I never thought they meant it seriously.....The trail was the toughest i ever ran....But the aid stations were well stocked and overall it was an amzing experience.....Ran the 25km category!!!

This is my first post on this forum after months of going through the
various cycling threads. Was just waiting for a running thread as I am
more into running than cycling.(ooops. i hope this is ok here :)

I ran the 12.5KM . Finished it but in a very slow time. The trail is
really tough as the punchline of the event states! and hats off to
those bravehearts who ran the 100k :O... The event as a whole was very
well organised but one drawback was the extreme rush of ppl at the
start. Heck, i was walking till the 2km mark almost.

P.S Sambhram/108.... remember me?? ;) Superb time man... and urs was
just around 10-15 mins away from the 3rd place guy if im not wrong.
