Bir Running Festival 2026

Every Hell Race carries a story of its own.

The Bir Running Festival began not on foot, but on wheels. A handful of mountain bikes once cut through Bir’s raw, lush, and unforgettable trails. Those tire tracks mapped the suffering and the beauty, but the terrain demanded something more primal. It wasn't enough to just ride it; you had to feel it.

So, the wheels were traded for running shoes, but the spirit remained unchanged.

Running? Yes. Scenic views? Hell yes. A walk in the park? Absolutely not.

Welcome to the Bir Running Festival—a full-throttle celebration of speed, endurance, and suffering (the good kind). Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bir-Billing, this festival is where road runners and trail fanatics unite for two relentless challenges: the Dhauladhar Ultra, Bir Billing Half Marathon and the Hanumangarh Epic. Pick your poison at your own descretion.

The name says it all. A 9KM vertical climb to the Hanumangarh Peak, followed by a knee-smashing descent back to the finish line.
