Goa is set to witness the sporting spectacle Paradise Trails, one of the State’s most challenging running events, on November 12. Organised by Uphill EMG, a company with repute in the sporting scene in the country, and supported by Goa Tourism, Paradise Trails Goa will cover beaches and deep forests, all the way to peaks with majestic views. Organisers said they expected 55-60 participants from within the country and abroad in this first-of-its-kind race in the tourist hub. Another highlight is that the trails will lead runners through two wildlife sanctuaries — Netravali, situated in the Sanguem taluk in Eastern Goa and Cotigao, located in the Canacona taluk in South Goa. The race comprises two challenging segments — 25K Trail Run and 101K Ultra Trail Run.
