Simple Steps presents EVERESTING - Edition 3 at Sinhagad Fort, Pune

Event Overview

Simple Steps presents EVERESTING - Edition 3 at Sinhagad Fort, Pune.

The concept of the Everesting event is simple: Participants have to walk/run up Sinhagad Fort via the Sinhagad Fort Ghat road and complete repeats of it in a single continuous activity until the elevation gained is 8,848 metres – the equivalent height of Mount Everest.

To achieve the elevation gain of Mt. Everest, participants will have to do 44 continuous repeats (climbs) of the planned route (2.7 KM route) on Sinhagad Fort Ghat road. Participants only need to ascend the route to gain the elevation; they will be brought down to the start point by road transport by the organizers.

Please Note: The running route is on Sinhagad Ghat - Tar Road and NOT the Sinhagad trek route.
