It is March 9, 2024, where the trail race has started in Rimbik village and on the other hand, my work in the race has started. There are 3 categories in the race, the first is of 65 km, the second is of 30 km and the third and shortest is of 12 km in which the least number of runners participated. The total number of runners including both 65 km and 30 km is 150. Those running 65 km have to complete the race in 15 hours and those running 30 km have to complete the race in 7 hours.
This race is known as “the buddha trails” and is held in Shingalila National Park located on the India-Nepal border. This is the sixth edition of the race and I have been a part of this race since the first year. Like every year, this year too my job will be to do photography in the race and manage the hydration points. In the last few years, there was Semin Sandphu which is the highest peak of West Bengal whose height is 3636 meters. This year I have to stay on the 30 km route.
Even though my work in today's post was race photography, I am only going to tell you about my experience of walking from village to village. According to GPS, I covered 28.9 km with an elevation gain of 1427 meters. Today in this 28 km walk, I saw 7 villages, although I have been to all these villages before but today is a little different, today I walked fast and focused on my work without wasting much time.
