Different Mountains. Different Terrains. One Spirit.
DHARAK is not a single race. It is a growing mountain running series across different terrains and regions. Each chapter represents a unique landscape and mountain experience.
DHARAK was born in the mountains surrounding Dehradun. The idea was simple — create running experiences that stay true to raw terrain and mountain landscapes.
As the series grows, DHARAK will expand into different mountain regions. Each chapter represents a unique terrain while maintaining the same philosophy of honest mountain running.
Each DHARAK chapter is defined by its terrain.
