Dear OOTYULTRA Runner – from First-Timer to Returning #ultramalaivasi!
From its early days as a training run at my KaysFIT Academy, OOTYULTRA has grown into more than just an event; it’s the heartbeat of the #ultramalaivasi community—a collective of runners united by a love for the outdoors, endurance, and the breathtaking roads of the Nilgiris. This community is all about camaraderie, resilience, and a shared passion for pushing personal limits in nature’s finest setting.
Our investment in initiatives like the Kenthorai Play Park launched on 20-Oct-2024, and over 2.5 lakhs contributed to local causes since OOTYULTRA’s inception, represent just the beginning. With continued support from our community, we can achieve an even more meaningful impact in the Nilgiris, with another project already set for 2025.
Through OOTYULTRA, Bison Ultra, and the upcoming Madurai Ultra on 8-Dec-2024, KaysFIT Academy remains dedicated to creating memorable experiences and supporting community progress. Together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
Ready to be part of this journey? Whether it’s the 90k, 60k, 30k, or 15k, each step takes you deeper into the #ultramalaivasi experience.
Welcome to the world of #ultramalaivasi, welcome to the 8th edition of OOTYULTRA.

Founder & Race Director, OOTYULTRA

The #ultramalaivasi OOTYULTRA Medal Story – A MUST-READ FOR ALL RUNNERS!
At OOTYULTRA, every finisher medal is personalized—a tradition we’ve proudly upheld since our very first edition. Each medal is meticulously crafted with the runner’s name and race distance, symbolizing their achievement and making it an unforgettable part of the #ultramalaivasi experience. The Jet Black medal is awarded to 15k finishers, Shining Silver for 30k, Glittering Gold for 60k, Earth Copper for 90k, and an exciting Bubble Gold for the 75k category debuting this year. The intricate process of making these medals begins a month before race day, involving laser cutting, engraving, color plating, and careful packaging in a personalized cover, which remains sealed until the moment a runner crosses the finish line. While all 15k finishers receive a medal regardless of their finish time, runners in 30k, 60k, 75k, and 90k must complete the race within the official cutoff to earn theirs. If you register before 22-Feb-2026, your medal will be waiting for you at the finish line; however, those who register after 12:00 PM on 23-Feb-2026 will still get a personalized medal, but it will be crafted after successful completion and shipped by 31-May-2026. No matter when you sign up, your OOTYULTRA finisher medal will always stand as a proud symbol of your endurance, commitment, and your journey as an #ultramalaivasi! 🏅
