BMF Ultra 2026 - Bengaluru's iTRA Point Hill Race

The BMF Ultra 2026 is set to challenge runners on the scenic Avathi Hills, offering Bengaluru's only iTRA-certified trail running experience. Participants can choose from four distances: 7.5K Taste of the Trails, 12.5K Hill Challenge, 25K Trail Breakthrough, and the ultimate 50K BMF Ultra. Each registration includes an official BMF Race Jersey, a personalized bib and timing chip, a finisher medal and certificate, aid stations with nutrition, medical and safety support, and post-race refreshments. The 50K race has a cutoff time of 6 hours 30 minutes, while shorter distances must be completed within the overall event schedule.
The course itself winds through Avathi Hills, featuring a mix of wide dirt paths, gravel tracks, and steady rolling climbs. It's a non-technical and clearly marked trail, making it accessible for both road and experienced trail runners. However, the challenge lies in the combination of significant elevation gain, rising June temperatures, and the sustained mental focus required to cover the distances. This event is an ideal stepping stone for those aiming for longer ultras, offering a professionally managed race experience within a strong trail running community.
Prepare for an invigorating test of endurance where road fitness meets its first real hill challenge. Runners are encouraged to hydrate well the day before and respect both the distance and the heat. Detailed Strava links and GPX files are available for course reconnaissance. Don't miss this opportunity to push your limits, enjoy stunning natural beauty, and earn valuable iTRA points (2 for 50K, 1 for 25K) at Bengaluru's sole iTRA-rated event.
