Go Heritage Run was founded in 2014 by GoUNESCO founder Ajay Reddy. The idea was to promote top heritage locations in an unusual way. All runs are conducted at extraordinary sites. Distances of 5K, 10K, and a half marathon (21K) are offered. They are not time-bound. The races are always held on a Sunday. Previous race locations also included Hampi, Karnataka, Hyderabad, Ooty, Udaipur, Bidar, Badami, and Warangal.
Conde Nast Traveller named Go Heritage Run one of the top scenic marathons in India. Go Heritage Run is a leisurely fun experience. The runs are not so much about athletic achievement as about the enriching experience.
