'In stride with nature' | Exploring India's trail running movement with Kshitish Purohit

Trail running Is very different from Road running. Although it’s still one foot in front of the other, trail running offers a profound connection with nature.

Unlike the predictability of pavements, trails offer dynamic, ever-changing, terrain, turning each step into an adventure.


Beyond physical challenges, it provides a mental escape, a rhythmic meditation of sorts. It’s a holistic experience that not only builds endurance, but also fosters a deep appreciation for the beauty that exists beyond concrete jungles.


But we live in a concrete jungle. That’s the reality. There are no trails here, right?

Well, turns out that’s not true. This city is blessed with some gorgeous trails. We just need to know where they are, and how to safely navigate them.


Welcome to episode 43. Today, we’re hearing from Kshitish Purohit, who’s a tech entrepreneur and a trail runner actively striving to turn Delhi into a trail running Haven. He has co-founded Capital trails, which has become one of the largest trail running communities in India. He’s also the national representative for ITRA, which stands for International trail running association. So, what are the nuances of trail running? what do these guys see when they head out to explore? What are they doing to grow this community. How can we organize races that attract the likes of Killian, Jim Walmsley, and Courtney Duwalter.


It’s a super fun and informative conversation, and so without further ado, let’s dive right in this is Me and Kshitish Purohit in the Find your Ultra podcast, episode 43. Indulge away.
