About Satara Hill Half Marathon
Welcome to the Satara Hill Half Marathon – where the beauty of the Western Ghats meets the thrill of endurance running. Our annual event, held in the scenic city of Satara every September, is a celebration of human strength, perseverance, and the power of community.
A Run Towards Peace, In Every Sense
The world feels heavy these days. We are constantly surrounded by noise, pressure, and division, yet peace is something many of us are quietly searching for.
That is why we choose running. Somewhere between the first step and the final kilometre, the mind settles, the noise fades, and life becomes simple again.
This year’s theme, #PaceForPeace, is about finding peace with the world around us, with the pace of our lives, with others, and most importantly, with ourselves.
At PBG SHHM, we see this spirit come alive every year. Runners from different cities, ages, and backgrounds come together, sharing the same roads, encouraging one another, and building connections that go beyond the finish line.
Running may not solve the world’s problems, but it creates a space that feels calmer, kinder, and more balanced. Whether you are chasing a personal best, running your first race, or simply showing up to clear your mind, this year we invite you to run for peace, at your own pace. Let’s #PaceForPeace. Let’s #RunSatara.

I first ran the Satara hill marathon in 2014 and immediately fell in love with the intimidating yet picturesque route. Due to home commitments, I couldn`t come back for 2 years but decided to do the 2017 edition with the intention of conquering the hill.

The Satara Hill Ultra half marathon has been one of my favourite 21.1km races since its inception in 2012. There are several reasons why this half marathon is now, arguably one of the best in the world.
