TrailblazeHER 2026 marks a significant milestone in India's adventure sports landscape as the country's first Women's Only Adventure Race. Scheduled from 18 to 20 September 2026 in Udupi, Karnataka, this pioneering event invites women from across India to step beyond their comfort zones and embrace the spirit of exploration, endurance, and teamwork.
Organised by NTH Adventure, TrailblazeHER has been inspired by successful women-focused adventure racing events in New Zealand and Australia. After more than a decade of organising Discovery, Sprint, Regional, and Expedition-style Adventure Races across India, the organisers identified the need for a dedicated platform where women could confidently experience the thrill of adventure racing.
More than just a competition, TrailblazeHER celebrates courage, friendship, leadership, and resilience. Participants will face exciting outdoor challenges that test navigation, teamwork, physical endurance, problem-solving, and determination while exploring the beautiful natural landscapes of Udupi.
Whether you're an experienced athlete or someone looking to experience adventure racing for the first time, TrailblazeHER provides an inclusive environment where women can challenge themselves, support one another, and discover new strengths.
The organisers encourage participants to bring a teammate, form a tribe, and experience an unforgettable weekend filled with adventure, confidence, and personal growth.
