The Celebration of Endurance
Every year, the city of Satara comes alive with the sound of pounding feet as runners from all corners of the globe gather for the SATARA HILL HALF MARATHON (SHHM). Held in the historic city that once served as the capital of the Maratha Kingdom, this event is the grandest of all community-organized marathons in India.
The Legendary Maratha Warrior King Shrimant Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhosale himself once roamed these hills, and now modern-day warriors come to test their mettle against the grueling terrain. In fact, the SHHM is so challenging that it has earned a spot in the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS thrice for the ‘Most People in a Single Mountain Run’.
Final registrations for JBG SHHM 2025 (Edition 14th) were closed on 10th April 2025. Outstation tickets were sold out at 7:10AM and Local category tickets sold out at 6:00PM.
From Small Beginnings to a National Event
The SATARA HILL HALF MARATHON (SHHM) is an event organized by the SATARA RUNNERS FOUNDATION, a non-profit group created by a diverse group of individuals who share a passion for running. Their collective effort began in 2012 when they organized a small run in their hometown of Satara, India.
Since then, the group has achieved tremendous growth, transforming the event into one of the most beloved running events in India. The success of SHHM can be attributed to the commitment and dedication of its volunteers, many of whom are members of the SATARA HILL RUNNERS. This group of enthusiastic runners are a tight-knit community, who work tirelessly to create a runner-friendly, world-class event that is both fun and adventurous.
