🚨 BIG REVEAL! The Theme of PHHM 2025 is… 🏰

Shhh… lean in close, because we’re about to let you in on a well-guarded secret!

The Pune Half Hill Marathon (PHHM) has always been more than just a race—it’s a journey through Maharashtra’s legendary forts, each edition unveiling a new chapter of history. And now, the wait is over…

🎉 PHHM 2025 salutes the mighty PURANDAR FORT! 🎉

Yes, you heard it right! The 3rd edition of PHHM is stepping back in time to honour one of the most strategic, historic, and awe-inspiring forts of the Maratha Empire.

Why Purandar? Because This Fort is No Ordinary Landmark…

🔹 The Birthplace of a King: It’s where Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the fearless son of Shivaji Maharaj, was born.

🔹 A Warrior’s Stronghold: This fort witnessed epic battles against the Bijapur Sultanate and the Mughals.

🔹 The Treaty That Changed History: The Treaty of Purandar was signed here, reshaping India’s destiny.

🔹 Still Standing Tall: Today, it houses the NCC Academy, symbolizing discipline and strength, just like a marathoner!

PHHM’s Legacy: Where Every Fort Tells a Story

PHHM isn’t just about running—it’s about running through history. Each year, we pick a legendary fort as our theme, making this marathon a living tribute to Maharashtra’s glory. And Purandar? Oh, it’s got stories that will give you chills (and maybe some extra motivation to push through those hills!).

🏃️ Run for the Fort. Run for the Cause. 🏃️
