MiD Day checked out the trail with some bikers and found out that with probability of Neelgai or Sambhar from the Asola Wildlife sanctuary crossing the track quite high, the race is bound to be filled with thrills and spills. The race will see professionals do multi laps covering a total of 35 kilometres and amateurs doing a single lap of around six kilometres.
