The first edition of “GlobalLimits Sri Lanka - The Wild Elephant Trail” will take place from 6-14 March 2015 in Sri Lanka.  It is the first ever multi-stage footrace organized in the country. 

52 runners from 23 countries from all continents in the world, including top Sri Lankan marathon runner Sanath Bandara, will compete in the race.  A professional team of local and international supporting staff, including medical doctors and course directors, will ensure a great racing experience to the runners.

The 210km, 6 stages race begins at the rock fortress of Yapahuwa, the short-lived capital of medieval Sri Lanka.  The runners will then head to Sasseruwa, the giant Buddha in “Freedom from Fear” pose, the picturesque Ritigala Mountains, and the Kandalama Lake.  The finishing line is set at the top of the World Heritage Site, the Sigiriya, ”The Lion Rock”.  In between the stages, the runners will stay at local pilgrim halls, campsites, and local village houses.  

The founder and General Manager of GlobalLimits said: "Sri Lanka has so much to offer naturally and culturally.  This is a truly unique opportunity to experience both, on foot.  We are determined to make this race an annual event in Sri Lanka.  The race is going to promote Sri Lanka as a safe, friendly, and attractive travel destinations for everyone in the world.”
