"Satara Hill Half Marathon is close to my heart.Firstly, because its a brainchild of my dear friend, Dr. Sandeep Kate, very strongly supported by all Satarakars. Secondly, because it is one of the toughest Hill marathons in the country and challenging routes always excite me.

I have run a couple of Satara Hill Half Marathons so far and my experience has been exceptional. The whole town comes alive to celebrate running. The arrangements are great and you get to meet a lot of runner friends.

The enchanting hill route throws a mighty challenge for the runner to test his or her endurance. My personal best at SHHM is 1.45 hours.

Kudos to the entire organizing team of SHHM.

Keep it up buddies!!!"
