42.2 KM THROUGH THE BEAUTY OF AMSTERDAM. 🇳🇱🏅

“Some marathons stay with you long after you cross the finish line. Amsterdam was definitely one of them and an experience I’ll always remember.

Every marathon brings a new experience, a new perspective, and another reason to keep running.”

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African Proverb

Completed the 4th 'Stairway 2 Heaven' Pune 2 Panchgani Intercity Run - 101 kms over the weekend in 15:45:26.

A dream that took shape back in 2019, having been born and schooled in Panchgani (the hill station is close to my heart and will always be home) I had this thought of doing a run from Pune (Karamabhoomi) to Panchgani (Janmabhoomi) traversing three Ghats (Katraj, Khambhatki & Pasarani). I reached out to Javed with the idea that 5 of us would run the distance of 101 kms as promo Run for RavineRun and Javed was more than eager to support the run.
Back then Satnam, Shyamal, Sushil, Ajay and Yusuf, Aziz, Preeti and myself completed the run in a little over 20 hrs. We felt this was just a one off run.

But my run buddies Satnam & Sushil Sharma suggested let us continue this as an annual event for our run group Running Dudes and it's heartening to see the run grow and each runner taking up the challenge and pushing themselves. This year we were 28 of us and 13 of us attempted the full distance of 101 kms, and few runners did 50 and 25 kms distances.
It was great to see the next gen follow in their parents footsteps with Mita Chojal son Riaan and Satnam's son Karanveer doing their first 25 kms in the middle of the night.

Team work, definitely makes the dream work.
Thank you to our partners Aguante, Hotel Ravine, Two Kind & Leap India.

101 KM — A JOURNEY THAT WILL ALWAYS BE CLOSE TO MY HEART ❤️
Some runs are about distance. Some are about endurance. But some become special because you witness people transform their lives through running and, even more beautifully, pass that passion on to the next generation. Seeing that happen makes me incredibly happy.

Our journey started at Shaniwar Wada, Pune, heading towards Panchgani. This time, the flag-off was an hour earlier at 11:00 PM, but the city was still buzzing with traffic and hustle until Katraj Ghat. Beyond that, the roads became quieter, and we settled into our running rhythm.

The first 45 km felt comfortable, with easy conversations alongside Om, Niraj and Pritish. Mid of Katraj ghat, Priyanka, Akshay and Karthik joined us, and we ran together until the tunnel. After that, they continued their own journey, and then we four left behind and returned to our usual rhythm.

Then came a moment I will always cherish.

Karan called to ask where I was. I feel be he wanted me to joining him as he was nearing the end of his run of 25km. I told him i will try to join. He was quite far ahead, and catching up meant pushing harder than planned, but I knew it would be worth it.

Luckily, I caught him around the 21 km mark of his run, and we ran together for the next 4 km, with Capt. Pooja ma’am also keeping him company.

Those kilometres were truly special. Running alongside him and watching him experience the same passion that has shaped your own journey is a feeling that's difficult to put into words. These are the moments that make running about so much more than finishing a race.

Once Karan finished his run, Om and Niraj joined me again. We continued together until around the 45 km mark, after which I started running with Darshan, Amruta, Devendra and Rohit.
By the time we crossed 50 km, my watch showed 7 hours and 59
minutes. I remember thinking that I still had around 10 hours to finish within the cutoff. Two killer ghats and the afternoon sun were waiting for us.
The real challenge was about to begin!
Around this time, Darshan received a call from Vishal, who told us that their group was about 5 km ahead

Today's run was powered by "horse power" :)
What a lovely morning I had, running at the Pune's Race course. Beautiful premises to witness some amazing morning specials like the rising sun, the foggy weather and early morning mist settling on the green lawns.
And absolutely stunning handsome horses!!

Thank you @manmaojee @sumitra_ashish and Ashish for the lovely company !

No matter what life throws my way, the highs that make me feel unstoppable or the lows that leave me questioning everything, running has always been the one place that feels like home.

It doesn’t solve every problem, but it clears my mind, steadies my heart, and reminds me that every difficult mile eventually leads somewhere beautiful.

Some days I run for a personal best, other days I run just to breathe. Either way, I always come back feeling a little stronger than when I started.

And the best thing every runner wants is free race photos that are so good, it makes you feel you are the photographer’s muse.
