The Top 5 Marathons in India: to Detox You

This is ideally the marathon season and being a fitness freak or say at least the one who completely supports travel expeditions with a good cause, cannot miss these marathons of the country. The view, air, surrounding, everything is simply majestic.

Thus pack your backpack with the essentials and head for the best marathon of your life and experience the calm, chaste and serene beauty of these places:

1. Ladakh Marathon

If you have high stamina and want to prove it then this is your place. The world’s highest marathon takes place here, at a height that is just beyond sea level. The breathlessness is common and charming.

There are four races here of which you can be a part off, 7km, half marathon, marathon, and the Khardungla challenge. The races are in and out of the city that you can see the cold desert in the most spectacular way.

2. Rishikesh half Marathon

via

To run 5km, 10km, and 21km, in Rishikesh, Uttar Pradesh. The run engages you with basic run-ups to the harder ones.

The half marathon is very popular as it covers the most scenic views of the bridge, beautiful river, horrid road and the bustling town, where the race ends and people cheer you up.

3. The Kaveri Trail Marathon

From the south, this Kaveri trail Marathon is worth trying. It has 10km, half marathon or marathon to lay your shoes at. The race is challenging and as you run along the Kaveri River, the muddy trails and the paddy fields of Srirangapatna.

The view is breathtakingly beautiful, and you could also go a bit of fishing while the water is calm.

4. Auroville Marathon

The race where there is no one as loser or winner but all are just racers who complete the race. The slogan here is ‘Run for the joy Running’.

This is what attracts me to this marathon, it is just like life you complete the race you do not win or lose. There are 5km, 10km half marathon and marathon. Run to check your endurance and achieve happiness.

5. Mount Abu Half Marathon

via

The most classic marathon where people from 18 to 60plus are running, and you just go on, on and on.

It starts at the baseline of Mt. Abu and the half marathon takes you all the way to the beautiful hill station where you can relax over the hot steaming cup milk.

Running is a way in which you can be true to yourself and this is one of the best statement ever. Run not to win or lose but run to complete the race.

Dhoni Slays It Again in 3rd ODI: Nobody can Beat Mahendra Singh Dhoni

India vs Australia: Melbourne, In the words of the aggressive captain, who is known for his clear cut words”No one is more committed to Indian cricket, than MS Dhoni and batting at number five is the ideal spot for him.” Virat Kohli came forward to support the former Captain cool.

Dhoni was criticized for his slow batting in the ODI series opener in Sydney before he made the contribution in winning the match in Adelaide and Melbourne ODIs. Virat is proud of his team and has attributed his success to the team and former captain.

He was all praises for the former Captain and stood beside him in the tough times. In the words of Virat”I think firstly as a team we are very happy for Dhoni that he is amongst the runs because it is very important to get runs under your belt to get that rhythm and confidence back.

Especially when you have not been playing so much international cricket,” said the India captain at the post-match press conference.

“Many things happen outside. People say a lot of things but as an individual, we know that there is no one more committed to Indian cricket than Dhoni and people should let him have his space because he has contributed so much for the nation.

“They should let him figure out things on his own and what he needs to do. He is one of the most intelligent cricketers and he is not someone who is not aware of what needs to be done. As a team, we are totally in sync with what he is doing and we are all very happy for him.

Dhoni’s contribution in winning the ODI cannot be denied and his unbeaten 87- run on Friday and at Adelaide, his half-century was all that was enough to shut the critics. Dhoni is best suited to bat at five as per the strategy of the team and he himself feels comfortable to bat at any position.

A great win and a fabulous innings by @imVkohli. Yet another at his adopted home ground😉. Excellent role played by @msdhoni and @DineshKarthik to take India over the line. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/7n3M2l3hZS
