WHAT PEOPLE SAY

DORA LAJOS - HUNGARY

El Reto del Indio was one of my toughest and most amazing ultra trail I have ever had. It was so challenging fighting with the hot weather, humidity, mud and level distances, but absolutely worth it because running into the ocean after 160 km is an unforgettable memory.

I have never had so much love, kindness and support on a trail in abroad as I have received here from the organizers or from other participants, I felt from the first moment I am here as much as a local runner.

This is a trail that you have to experience, it will take your breath away in more ways than one.

DAMIEN BONTEMPS - FRANCE

The Indian Challenge provides unique components to that discipline. My experience has been very rewarding. The obstacles I had to overcome have been different between my two participations in the Indian Challenge.Taking longer to finish 130k than to finish 160k says it all!

What remained consistent is the level of energy, of positivism, the human quality that is experienced at the beginning, during and end of each tour, the feeling of having achieved the impossible and of having lived an entire life in less than 30 hours.
