Go Heritage Run Badami Run Routes
We’ve received a lot of questions asked about the routes, elevation details and sites of significance en route and this post has the answers. Our thanks to IHCN for their inputs on these run routes. The routes include traversing along a stony trail with elevation changes so do exercise caution.
Go Heritage Run – Badami: 5K Run Route
Start / Finish Point: Badami Museum (near entrance to North Fort)
Elevation Information: Link
Start Timing: 6.15AM
The 5K run commences near the Badami museum and heads in a north-easterly direction along a stony trail with some elevation changes. In the first 1 kilometer, you will see the Badami Fort to your left, and the Agastya lake, Bhuthnatha temple and the 6th century Badami cave temples to your right. If the weekend turns out to be rainy, there’ll be a waterfall that can be seen too. Further along, as you gain elevation, you will see some stunning views of Badami town and its surrounding hills. Turn around at the 2.5K mark and retrace your path back to the Badami museum to collect your very special Badami-inspired finishers medal!
Go Heritage Run – Badami: 10K Route

The 10K run commences near the Badami museum and heads in a north-easterly direction along a stony trail with some elevation changes.

If the weekend turns out to be rainy, there’ll be a waterfall that can be seen too. Further along, as you gain elevation, you will see some stunning views of Badami town and its surrounding hills. Continue heading in an easterly direction, and head cautiously down a stony series of steps until you arrive at a canopy of trees leading to the 7th century Mahakoota Temple. This marks the 5K point. Turn around and retrace your path back to the Badami museum to collect your very special Badami-inspired finishers medal!

Cross the temple complex and head in a southward direction along a route that’s got everything – fields and hills all around and a canopy of trees above. Expect to cross a couple of small villages en route to the 10.5K turnaround point. Turn around and retrace your path back to the Mahakoota Temple, the stony trail and finally make your way back to the Badami museum to collect your very special Badami-inspired finishers medal!

Dear Vishwas,
As with all Go Heritage Runs, there is no prize money for winning.
Pingback: Badami Run: Bib pickup and other important information
Are the runs timed? Or does ‘non-competitive’ mean the timing isn’t measured? Thanks.
Dear Murthy,
No none of our runs are timed.
Can you please give me the details as to when do we have to register and when s d run n if we stay in other cities do we need to take our own transport ,is there any age limit or even kids can participate…etc…
Dear Bhavana,
Registrations for our runs typically start 3 months before run date – please sign up to our mailing list so you can get information as soon as we launch registrations – https://www.goheritagerun.com/email-updates/.
We typically help participants with suggestions on the best way to get to the run destinations and accommodation there. In some cases, we negotiate discounts for runners too – all information is sent via email in the days prior to the runs.
Our runs frequently see young participants and we encourage them too – the parents/guardians have to sign a disclaimer.
