Let’s join Margalla Trail Runners’ hands to support and help in the Course Marking of the Galiyat Mountain Trail 60km Race route. The basic objective of course marking is to familiarize the route, identification of key points and intersections/diversions, participants’ safety considerations, etc. It is a voluntary activity and a long hike. Your participation and support will help us quickly windup the course marking activity in a day. We’ll be grateful.
It covers more than half of the route of the 60k race. Before going to attempt UTMB Index 60k and 20k Race (20th July 2025). Please go through the Margalla Trail Runners’ website and social media accounts for the race details.
