Located near the Line of Actual Control (McMahon Line), Mechuka provided a compelling route for the 150-kilometre-long challenge. Participants navigated rugged terrains through disciplines like trail running, mountain biking, kayaking, river crossing, rope work, hiking, and navigation, all while soaking in views that few travellers ever witness.
The well-curated race took teams through villages, over rivers, across mountains, and into the heart of tribal Arunachal.
Speaking at the event, Pasang Dorjee Sona, Arunachal Pradesh’s Minister for Tourism, emphasised the state’s commitment to promoting adventure tourism. “Arunachal Pradesh is well-positioned to emerge as a global destination for adventure travel. We aim to showcase our state’s immense potential through events like the National Adventure Racing Championship. We plan to organise this event on a much larger scale next year.”
