Since 2018, OOTYULTRA has hosted over 4,500 runners from 25 Indian States & 15 Different Countries.

Our Commitment

OOTYULTRA, organised by KaysFIT Academy, reflects our deep and ongoing commitment to the Nilgiris District. Our founder, Coach Kay, has always believed in giving back to the region he proudly calls home, and this commitment has been strengthened over the years through the support of runners, partners, and well-wishers.

We continue to focus on sports development, sports tourism, sustainability initiatives that benefit local communities, and infrastructure projects such as creating play parks for children. Each year, with the collective support we receive, we build a new play park at a village school to provide safe and joyful spaces for young children.

Every contribution enables us to bring meaningful and lasting change to the beautiful Blue Mountains.

Together with KaysFIT Academy and the generous support of the running community, OOTYULTRA remains dedicated to uplifting the Nilgiris and preserving the charm and spirit of this special region.
