Matheran Endurathon Summer Edition 2027 - Maharashtra

The Matheran Endurathon Summer Edition 2027 is scheduled for Sunday 23 May 2027 in the hill station of Matheran, Maharashtra. Organised by RunBuddies Club, it offers predominantly off-road running through the wooded, hilly landscape of the Western Ghats, with the organiser advertising a gathering at Ashok Hotel, Chinoy Road, near Paymaster Park.

The 2027 trail programme

The organiser's current-edition listing confirms six distances: 5 km, 10 km, 25 km, 35 km, 50 km and 60 km. The 35K and 60K are not represented by exact options in ARC's current structured-distance menu, so they are explicitly included here rather than mislabelled as another distance. The shorter races provide an introduction to Matheran's trails, while the long-distance challenges require preparation for uneven footing, ascents and descents. Route maps, elevation gain, mandatory equipment, time limits and category-specific start waves have not yet been published for this edition.

A vehicle-free hill-station setting

Matheran is known for its forested paths, viewpoints and restrictions on motor vehicles. The organiser describes the courses as predominantly trail, with natural tree cover and sections of rough or uneven ground. Runners should not treat these as flat city-road distances: expect variable surfaces and allow additional time for climbs, descending and the approach to the start area. In earlier editions competitors needed to travel to the motor-vehicle parking area and walk into town. This is useful background, not a confirmed 2027 transfer arrangement. Recheck transport and walking-route instructions before travelling.

Timing, entries and support

The official 2027 page lists 06:00 India Standard Time on Sunday as the event's general start time. It does not confirm whether all race categories share that flag-off. As checked 27 October 2026, registration is labelled 'Opening Soon'. No verified current-edition entry fees, closing date, participant limits, race-pack collection slots, prizes or refund rules have been announced. Do not rely on fees or schedules for older Matheran Endurathon editions, which offered different categories.

RunBuddies advertises official timing and finisher certificates, a finisher medal, breakfast, hydration, medical and ambulance assistance, and physiotherapy support. Final eligibility and what is included for each distance should be confirmed in the new 2027 race information.

The start venue pin is positioned approximately near Ashok Hotel, pending an official start-line map. Please refer to the organiser's 2027 event listing for registration updates, exact start times, final race rules, bib collection and any changes to the 23 May schedule.
