Celebrating women and men equally, we set out to give them both a chance to run and support the other.
Nilgiris 100 Ultra is an North Face UTMB qualifier with 2 points in the 100Kms category, awarded by ITRA (International Trail Running Association)

The race is set amidst beautiful Nilgiri hills, taking you higher for breathtaking views and mist laden clouds. This is the second edition in the Nilgiris. Starting at midnight means one gets a chance to witness glorious sunrise in the hills. For a spectacular year end race, come run with us in this beautiful location that is close to major cities such as Bangalore, Coimbatore and Chennai.

I have already registered for the 2015 edition. I wanted to know if this is primarily a road run? is their any trail (off road) whatsoever?

Hello Himanshu,
It is all road. It may slightly uneven for short 50meter distance at one or two places. Otherwise it is a good road.
Train well. Look forward to seeing you in December.

Can I have my friends/crew assist me throughout the duration of the race (100k)? Follow me with my nutrition, fuel and other miscellaneous supplies?
July 17, 2015 at 4:53 am
Hello, Himanshu, yes, you can have a support team, but they cannot follow you all the way. They can travel on the route and stop at a location and help you out and then go ahead and wait for you. The route is narrow and a slow moving vehicle is not recommended. If you have specific need for the vehicle please write to us at info@globeracers.com. Happy running.
July 19, 2015 at 1:42 am
yes of course kkanaparthy…….. i definitely do not want them following me all the way but more like every 20-25 km or so meet up incase i need something and that way i do not have to carry any additional gear!
July 19, 2015 at 7:35 am
That will be fine, Himanashu. Do let us know if you require any further assistance. Look forward to see you in December. Happy running.

Sure, Rahul, that will be ok as long as he completes those half marathons and trains appropriately.

Great! Thanks.
September 4, 2015 at 9:11 am

Hi there,
I very much like to signup for 100K distance but I’m still not sure if I can make it to Ooty in Dec.
I live in Denmark & most probably will be visiting India in December first week. When is the last date for registration? And is it possible to signup 1 week before the race?
Cheers, Rahul
October 28, 2015 at 10:02 am
Hello Rahul, if you wish to sign up and unable to attend the race, we allow a one time roll-over to next edition or any race that GR organizes in the next 12 months. Last date for registration is November 1, 2015 and all registrations must be received by then. Happy running.
October 28, 2015 at 2:13 pm
Thanks, I have signed up now! Really looking forward to my first official race in India. Could you please suggest a good accomodation near the start/finish area?
October 28, 2015 at 5:37 am
Hi Kavitha,
I had trouble signing up for 25K run after having forgotten my password. Is there a possibility of accommodating me for the run now although the due date for registration has lapsed.
October 28, 2015 at 9:48 am
Hi Mamatha,
Registration is open until November 1 to facilitate some of the late registrants due to festival holidays. You can register before it closes.
Best wishes,
Kavitha.

Hello, my name is Tom from Oxford in England. I’d love to take part in the 50 Niligris – it looks fantastic. I do endurance running and love running in hills. In the UK I’m involved with an adventure race (I have given you the website in my details section). I see that I am slightly late to qualify but just wondered if there was still any chance to take part. I’d really appreciate it if I could. Fingers crossed but I wish you all the best with the event whatever happens, it looks wonderful. Best wishes, Tom (Fremantle)
November 4, 2015 at 2:47 pm
Hello Tom, the registration link is open until November 5 midnight IST. If you wish to register, please do so now. It will be great to have you at the race. Happy running.
The website you provided in the details is not opening at our end. Please do check the spelling.

Hello Ms. Kavitha, I planned to register for 25km category this year but due to my office commitments which clashed with nilgiri ultra, I had to drop the plan. Now I come to know that my official commitment is postponed and I am free now. Would like to register now. It is for me and my friend. Hence I request you guys to open up the registration. Please help.
November 12, 2015 at 5:21 pm
