Every year, the adventure travel event highlights an attractive tourist destination through inherent features such as its ecological beauty, citizens’ way of life and culture, which are showcased to the world through the presence of global media that follow the athletes in their trail.

The 20th edition of this event will take place in the areas surrounding the iconic Sigiriya rock fortress, rich in ecological beauty, cultural heritage and attributes of authentic village life in Sri Lanka.

The first leg of this sporting bout will take place from March 13 - 23 and the second leg is scheduled from March 27 – April 6.

Over 550 participants, including athletes and officials will be a part of this year edition.

The SriLankan aircraft with the special livery features iconic Sigiriya, the vibrant backdrop of this year’s event.
