Pir Chinasi Top is at an altitude of 2900m and 28 km far from the middle of Muzaffarabad city, the Capital of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK). Pir Chinasi Top is one of the most beautiful and scenic places in AJK. It is the most challenging, most demanding, toughest, and steepest hill road running route. It has more than 2300m elevation and a 28 km completely uphill road route. It starts from 700m altitude and ends at 2900 and most importantly hardly any point of the flat area provides relief to runners.
Margalla Trail Runners (MTR) did this run back in September 2021 and June 2023 on hot and humid days. This time we are doing it on April 21, 2024. So, be ready for the toughest ever hill road challenge.
