Welcome to Bharat Alacrity – the home of India’s most prestigious Ultra Cycling Events, where passion, endurance, and the spirit of adventure converge. Our journey began with the groundbreaking Shivalik Signature on April 7, 2018, marking the initiation of ultra racing in Punjab. This 615 km Ultra Race has earned its reputation as the qualifying event for the world’s toughest bicycle race – the Race Across America (RAAM), an event that sets the gold standard for endurance cycling worldwide (www.raceacrossamerica.org).

Following the resounding success of five extraordinary editions, Shivalik Signature is back, brimming with enthusiasm and fresh energy, presenting Shivalik Signature Edition VI on September 21, 2024. Prepare to be part of an epic cycling saga as participants from all corners of the country come together to conquer challenges and make history.

Embark on an unparalleled journey with ‘Romantika Uz Beas ^TM‘, scheduled for March 16, 2026. Renowned as India’s toughest ultra race, Romantika Uz Beas ^TM is not just an event; it’s an experience that pushes cyclists to their limits amidst the scenic beauty of India. Having successfully hosted two editions, we’re thrilled to announce the upcoming fourth edition, promising even greater excitement and challenges.

But that’s not all – we’re proud to introduce a groundbreaking event, ‘KOSET ^TM‘ This marks India’s very own endurance cycling event, standing out with its unique non-racing format. Named after the ancient unit of measurement ‘kos,’ this event pays homage to India’s rich history, with landmarks of kos scattered across the northern regions of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Join us as we redefine the landscape of endurance cycling in India and create a platform that transcends traditional racing boundaries.

KOSET ^TM, an endurance cycling event, draws its inspiration from the ancient Indian measurement system of Kos. Originating from the Vedic period, a 'krośa' or 'kos' is an ancient subcontinental standard unit of distance, approximately equivalent to 3,075 meters, as per the Arthashastra.

Historically, India's old highways, particularly the Grand Trunk Road (G.T. Road), featured 16th to early 18th-century Kos Minars erected at distances of a little over two miles. These minars served as vital markers for measuring distances, notably between Agra and Ajmer, Agra and Lahore, and from Agra to Mundu in the south.
