19 July 2026 — Suncity Club and Resort, Vadodara

Run through the storm.

Last July, 200 of us showed up at Suncity Club and Resort at 5 in the morning, pinned our BIBs in the dark, and ran loops in the rain until our shoes were soaked and our faces hurt from smiling. This year, we're doing it again. Bigger. Better. 400 spots. And we want you there.

The Story

It started with one question.
Who actually wants to run in the rain?

Turns out, a lot of people do. When Dina floated the idea of a monsoon run at Suncity Club and Resort last year, nobody knew if 50 people would show up or 500. 200 showed up. Beginners who had never pinned a BIB before. Runners who've done ultras. A senior citizen who finished more loops than half the field. A group of college friends who signed up as a dare.

Nobody cared about pace. Nobody cared about distance. People ran, walked, cheered strangers, got drenched, and sat down together for breakfast after. That morning became the reason Monsoon Miles exists. This is not a race with podiums and pressure. It's a loop challenge. Pick how long you want to run and just go.

First time in Gujarat

Finish your run.
Jump in the pool.

You just ran loops in the monsoon. Your legs are tired, your shirt is soaked, and you have the biggest smile on your face. Now walk 50 steps to the Suncity Club and Resort pool and jump in. Music on, rain still falling, cold water hitting your sore muscles. No running event in Gujarat has ever done this. We thought it was about time someone did.

Race Day

Here's how the morning
actually goes.

4:30 AM
You'll wonder why you signed up
You'll pull into Suncity Club and Resort while it's still dark. The parking lot is half full already. 4 Hour and 2 Hour runners collect BIBs, pin them on, stretch a little. Nervous laughter and way too many "are we really doing this?" conversations.
5:00 AM
Reporting — 4 Hour & 2 Hour
4 Hour and 2 Hour runners report to the start line. Headlamps on, phones in armbands. The air smells like wet leaves. The energy is building.
5:30 AM
Flag off — 4 Hours
The 4 Hour runners go first. And then you're off. The first loop feels easy. The red earth of Suncity Club and Resort is soft under your feet. You'll forget you woke up at 4.
5:35 AM
Flag off — 2 Hours
Five minutes later, 2 Hour runners follow. The trail is alive now. Runners everywhere, rain coming down, and you're part of it.
7:00 AM
1 Hour runners report
The 1 Hour runners arrive at Suncity Club and Resort. Fresh energy, fresh legs. Collect your BIB, warm up, and get ready for your flag off at 7:30.
7:30 AM
Flag off — 1 Hour
The 1 Hour runners are off! Your pace, your race. Some sprinting, some jogging, all smiling. The 2 Hour runners are wrapping up around you. The energy is electric.
7:35 AM
2 Hours wraps up
The sky is lightening. 2 Hour runners are finishing, and the tiredness on their faces is mixed with something else. Medals go around necks. The 4 Hour runners are still out there. People start clapping louder.
8:30 AM
1 Hour runners come home
The 1 Hour runners come through. Some sprinting the last stretch, some walking in with the biggest grins. Medals, hugs, and the realization that you just ran in a monsoon. Now you get to cheer the 4 Hour legends still going.
9:30 AM
4 Hours. Done.
Four hours. Done. If you've never seen someone finish a 4 hour loop challenge in the rain, it's something. Hugs from strangers. Medals that actually mean something.
9:45 AM
Pool party. Yes, really.
This is the part nobody else in Gujarat is doing. You just finished a monsoon endurance run. Now jump in the Suncity Club and Resort pool while it's still raining. Cold water, sore muscles, loud music, and everyone who just completed the same challenge you did. This is what you'll tell everyone about on Monday.
10:00 AM
Nobody wants to leave
Awards, photos, and breakfast under the pavilion. The food tastes better when you've earned it. Last year, nobody wanted to leave. This year, with the pool party, good luck getting anyone to go home.

Things people
ask us.

There's no fixed distance. You pick a time window (1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours) and run a marked loop through Suncity Club and Resort as many times as you can before time runs out. Walk when you need to, run when you feel it. Simple as that.
Yes. The 1 Hour category is literally designed for you. Your pace, minimum 6 km. Walk the whole thing if you want. Some of our 2025 runners had never done an event before. They finished, they got a medal, and they've been running ever since.
Event T-shirt, BIB number, a finisher medal, hydration stations on the loop, breakfast after the run, medical support on standby, professional photography, and timed results. Everything is included. No hidden charges, no extras.
Good. That's the whole point. We run in the rain. That's what makes this different from every other event. If there's a genuine safety situation (thunderstorm, flooding), we'll let everyone know on WhatsApp and SMS. But light to heavy rain? We're running.
Wear the event T-shirt with your BIB pinned on. Bring running shoes (trail shoes if you have them), a headlamp or phone torch (4H & 2H runners, it's pitch dark at 5 AM), a water bottle, and a change of clothes for after. Leave valuables in your car.
Yes. Anyone 14 and above can participate. If they're between 14 and 18, a parent or guardian needs to sign the consent waiver. No upper age limit either. We had runners from 16 to 65+ last year.
Yes. Suncity Club and Resort has plenty of parking space. Get there by 4:30 AM and you'll find a spot easily. Gates close at 4:50 so don't cut it too close.
days to go
