Goa Trail Run

The Goa Trail Run is off the road and out of the box. Instead of pounding on asphalt, participants will be lightly treading through dense forests, dirt trails and pristine grasslands dotted with thousands of tiny, colourful wild flowers. They will see nature at its finest, and hear calls of peacocks and cries of lapwings as they race to the finish.

IT'S REALLY CLOSE
Most surprisingly, the state’s first-of-its-kind trail run is not deep in the state’s interiors. Rather, it is on the Socorro Plateau in Porvorim, a virgin, unspoiled wonderland; an oasis in the very middle of Goa’s fastest-growing urban area.

10K or 21K RACE?
There are two distances — 10K (one loop of 10km) or 21K (a Half Marathon — two loops of 10km and a wee bit more). Participants can run or walk, stopping to smell the thousands of wild flowers along the route; they have a full three-and-a-half hours to complete the distance (four hours for 21K).

DON'T WANT TO RACE? DO THE 7.5K FUN RUN
For those who want to enjoy and not stress about their timings, we have the 7.5K Fun Run. It's a 7.5km route for walking and/or running, with no timings and all winners.
