 In the rugged hinterlands of North Bengal, where the clouds kiss the towering peaks and the whispers of Kanchenjunga echo through the valleys, lies Rimbick—a serene hamlet guarding trails that test the mettle of the fiercest runners. As the Sleeping Buddha keeps watch, we at The Hell Race dare you to embrace chaos wrapped in beauty. Welcome to the Buddha Trails 2026—a fiery prelude to the inferno of the Solang SkyUltra 2026. For a decade, we've been crafting races with raw passion and relentless precision, pulling runners out of their comfort zones and into the abyss of self-discovery. The Buddha Trails is no exception—it’s the "starter Hell" where legends are forged, knees are humbled, and souls are set ablaze. This isn't a casual jog; it’s a visceral journey through terrains that separate the trailblazers from the trail-chasers. Here, you won’t just run; you’ll flirt with pain, banter with exhaustion, and dine with triumph as the peaks of Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, and Kanchenjunga stand as stoic witnesses to your struggle. These are trails kissed by gods and trampled by legends. Will you be one of them? <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Race Categories</h2> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"> 12 KM: The Sprint Inferno</h3> <ul style="margin-bottom: 0"><li>Route: RIMBICK → SEPI → SRIKHOLA BRIDGE → SEPI → RIMBICK</li><li>Cut-Off: 2 hours</li><li>Elevation Gain: 640 meters D+</li><li>Aid Stations:<ul style="margin-bottom: 0"><li>AS 1: SEPI</li><li>AS 2: SRIKHOLA BRIDGE</li><li>AS 3: SEPI</li><li>AS 4: FINISH LINE</li></ul></li></ul> Short but sizzling, this category is a sprint through the wild.
