Ultra-Trails of Galliyat Mountains (UTMG) Run

Ultra-Trails of Galliyat Mountains (UTMG) is the most beautiful, scenic, and one of the best routes for trail and hill running. #UTMG is in Galliyat, Abbottabad District of KPK, Pakistan. UTMG is a sequence of multiple trails of Galliyat, and they are linked/connected to one another and start from Thandiyni and finish at Khaira Gali or vice versa. Its total distance is around 62km and more than 2000m ascent.
It was one of the dream routes for Margalla Trail Runners (MTR) to attempt the Ultra-Trails of Galliyat Mountains Run. The idea of UTMG was initiated by #MargallaTrailRunners back in August 2020. UTMG was successfully attempted (started from Khaira Gali and finished at Thandiyani within the time limit of 15 hours) on August 08, 2020. It was a historic day for the hill/mountain/trail running community.
The second time, 7th August 2021, MTR attempted in a big group and started from Thandiyani and finished at Khaira Gali. Total 14 athletes participated in the event, MTR 15: Ultra-Trails of Galliyat Mountains (UTMG). 12 out of 14 #MTR Club members completed the whole #UTMG route of 62 km distance and more than 2000m ascent including one foreign national well before the cut-off time. It was a historic day in the history of long-distance trail running in Pakistan that 14 trail runners ran for the Ultra-marathon on Galliyat Mountains.
Therefore, this time, MTR is going to attempt 3rd time in a row in July 2022 and hopefully will make
