THE GREAT MAWLA GHAATI ULTRA 2023

How was Shivaray's Mawla (मावळा)?

Shivaray's mawla looked plain naive, wild body and strong lean muscular built, face completely tanned due to the scorching heat, turban wrapped on head, wearing dhoti upto the knees on his feet and dirty messy sadra – a long linen shirt, shield on his back, swords on his waist, proud mustache on his lips; The masculine attitude, stentorian as the mighty Sahyadri!

Without a sword in his hand and no shield on his back, there was no evidence that they are soldiers (Mawla). If enemies looked at these guys from afar, they would think that this young men, had just harvested a field and confronted him, what would a farmer face harm them?

But when this men wished to jump in the battlefield pulling out their sword (shamsheer) and lunging in to the battlefield, swinging in his limbs, speeding like a cheetah, gazing at the eagle and with the power of a hundred elephants at his wrists.

It was beyond the imagination of the enemy that the simple-looking men could take on such a formidable form, that within the shock, these men would have cut down more than half of the enemies soldiers.

What is Ghati (घाटी)?

The twisted routes throughout our mightiest Sahyadri ranges all over Maharashtra are proudly known as Ghati!

Our Pride the Mawla used to stay in these ghaati and was also known as ‘ghaati’.

This time it will be the slippery side of Sahyadri ranges which are never ran or walked by humans before! (obviously excluding our route marking team) the route of The Great Mawla Ghaati Ultra is an incredibly tall and craggiest mountain trail, with ZERO loops!

You will compete the most highly impassable parts of the mighty Sahyadri!

In the course of this race, you will embrace nature and feel sunny delectable.

The race will be conducted within the limits of Bhor-Velha-Pune.

All the 3 categories is that all of the races will be held in month of June 2023, It will be sweltering hot with the first showers during the run.

UTMB World Series Qualifier Race

An Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc UTMB® World Series Qualifiers are the gateway to the UTMB® World Series, with thousands of races around the world which are open to all. Participating in a UTMB® World Series Qualifier race will allow for runners who take part to benefit from privileged access to the UTMB®

All Finishers of a UTMB® World Series Events 20K race earn 1 Running Stone

All Finishers of a UTMB® World Series Events 50K race earn 2 Running Stones

All Finishers of a UTMB® World Series Events 100K race earn 3 Running Stones

HOW DO THE RUNNING STONES WORK?

One Running Stone is equivalent to one entry into the lottery to participate in the UTMB® World Series Finals, i.e., the UTMB®, CCC® and OCC races of the UTMB® Mont-Blanc. Running Stones will be awarded to all finishers of a 20K, 50K, 100K and 100M UTMB® World Series Event or UTMB® World Series Major. Running Stones accumulate over time and each Running Stone gives an additional chance to be selected via the lottery.  

Running Stones can be used to enter the lottery for only one race per edition of the UTMB® World Series Finals. If the athlete is not selected, they may use their Running Stones for a subsequent edition of the lottery for the race of their choice if they hold a valid UTMB® Index in the category.    For example, if you have 9 Running Stones, your name appears 9 times in the lottery, thus tripling your odds in the lottery vs someone who only has 3 Running Stones.
