Course Description

This race is exclusively designed for the indomitable spirit, the robust physique, and the dauntless courage within you. Covering a staggering distance of 116 kilometers and a vertical climb of 7,500 meters to the majestic summits of Arjuno-Welirang, this challenge is not for the faint-hearted.

It is a test of mettle, a trial of endurance, and not meant for ordinary individuals. The race promises an unforgettable experience, combining the surge of adrenaline and the flow of endorphins, all while exacting a considerable toll on both physical and mental faculties.

Embark on a journey that involves climbing Arjuno-Welirang 2.5 times from the base, exploring the mountains with diverse terrains, vegetation, and abrupt climate changes. 

The course modifications for this year’s race build upon the adjustments implemented in the 2023 route. Steep uphill sections of Mahapena have been eliminated, as well as the slippery terrain of Budug Asu. It is noteworthy that the course culminates with a challenging uphill climb to Candi Sepilar, introducing a final and formidable challenge to the participants’ journey.

Stringent safety measures will be applied, with a strict rule requiring descent from the summit of Arjuno only during daylight hours. Cruising down Arjuno after dark is strictly prohibited.

To enhance safety, a zoning system (Red, Yellow, and Green) based on altitude and potential risks will dictate safety protocols. Arjuno-Welirang, in this category, is exceptionally challenging from a natural perspective, and our commitment is to ensure your race is conducted safely, facilitating your completion of the course and a secure return to your loved ones.

Wishing you the best in your training regimen. Ensure it is a rigorous one, for this race demands nothing less!

Course Description

The 68K category is an encompassing challenge that traverses both Welirang and Arjuno peaks. The descent unfolds all the way to Mahapena, leading through the tea plantation, with a stop  at Kuneer Hill. The route ascends to Budug Asu before descending to the Wonosari tea plantation, which serves as the main water station. Here, runners will find good facilities, including drop bags.

A notable change from the previous year is the diversion from Tambak Watu. Rather than heading directly to the Putuk Lesung water station, participants will make a crucial stop at the iconic Candi Sepilar checkpoint. This segment involves a steep ascent of approximately 1.7km, followed by a descent along the original route, leading to the Putuk Lesung water station.

Course Description

The 38K Welirang route represents the quintessential Mantra116 trail race route, known for its classic and challenging characteristics. Caution is advised, especially towards the summit of Welirang, and while at the top, as strong winds are anticipated. Participants are urged to safeguard against sulfur inhalation by covering their noses with a wet buff.

Descending from the summit, the trail leads to Sadelan and further descends into the picturesque Lembah Kidang. Participants may be fortunate enough to encounter deer amid the fertile savanna in this region. Subsequently, the route retraces its path back to Pondok Welirang, followed by a descent along the initial route to the Putuk Lesung water station. A final stretch of 12 km will lead participants to the finish line.
