During the monsoon season, the Queen of Satpura adorns herself with a captivating wet cloak, enchanting all those who seek natural beauty and serenity in her presence. Amidst this picturesque weather, numerous adventure enthusiasts are eagerly preparing to go on a journey to this hill station, seeking both thrills and awe-inspiring experiences. Set to take place on July 23, the Pachmarhi Monsoon Marathon attracts runners from across the country. Organized collaboratively by Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board and Adventure & You (AK connect), this event will witness the spirited participation of both the young and the young-at-heart across four different categories. Mr. Yuvraj Padole,  Deputy director of the MP Tourism Board and the event’s organizer, expressed the marathon’s commendable standing among professional athletes. He remarked, “This marks the fifth edition of the marathon. When we started this event five years ago, our goal was to attract around 500 participants. This time the registration is running and we are approaching the limit of 1000 participants. To ensure optimal facilities and infrastructure for all participants, we will close registration at 1000. It is particularly exciting to witness the overwhelming response to the 42-kilometer full marathon category, introduced last year, in addition to the 5-kilometer, 10-kilometer, and 21-kilometer runs. This exhilarating event not only invigorates tourism during the quieter monsoon months but also creates employment opportunities within the region.” The buzz surrounding the marathon, set to take place in the NarmadaPuram district, has already begun.  Those  responsible are working to further highlight the natural beauty of Pachmarhi by adding vibrant elements to make the event even more spectacular.

Yuvraj Padole, Deputy Director (Events & Marketing), Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, says, “We are already in the process of conducting both virtual and physical roadshows. MP Tourism has also started organising virtual and physical events such as the Jal Mahotsav, and has started planning a virtual Madhya Pradesh Travel Mart to promote our tourism products.”
