The country of Sri Lanka evokes serene tranquillity, such as wild turtles, peacocks, eagles, water buffalos and the famous Sri Lankan elephants roaming free in nature.

Run and discover the country’s stunning natural features, unique plants and wildlife, and beautiful heritage sites in Sri Lanka – The Wild Elephant Trail, the first ever multi-stage race in the country that stretches 210km over 6 days!

Wild Natural Sights of Sri Lanka in 210km Race Held Over 6 Stages!

All participants will be picked up from Colombo International Airport on 6 March 2015, and transport will be provided to the hotel at one of most beautiful beaches in Negombo, Sri Lanka, where all participants will gather and get to know each other.

With a full-board policy, all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) will be provided as well as non-alcoholic drinks. Runners can bring additional hydration, snacks and gels too.

Projected at a distance of 210km held in 6 stages, you will start the race on 8 March 2015, in the religious temple area of Yapahuwa, which was once the ancient palace of Sri Lanka. Yapahuwa is most famous for its ornamental stairway, and various ancient Buddhist artefacts still remain there today.

Along the way, get to camp in rural village houses and interact with the native population. Stay at and explore the ancient monastery ruins amidst the Ritigala Mountain Range, and relax at the Kandalama Lake, which also offers stunning views of the Ritigala Mountains.
