Glimpses of Ultribe Paderu 100K

— A Song of Bliss and Endurance

Anandame when you run a 100K —
Where every stride is a story of strength.

Anandame when you run with heart and soul —
Not just for the finish line, but for the journey itself.

Anandame when you run with your co-runners —
Together through misty trails, through laughter and pain.

Anandame when you explore the wild —
Where silence speaks, and nature cheers you on.

Anandame when you meet volunteers at the aid stations —
Their smiles, like fuel, lifting your weary spirit.

Anandame to see the peaks of Paderu —
Majestic, calling, humbling, and eternal.

Anandame to feel the warmth of Paderu’s locals —
Their hospitality, a reminder of humanity’s best.

Weekend — we love and live for it.
The trails, the tribe, the thrill —
it's where we come alive. 🌄🫶🏽

That’s where the real grind happens.
We work to sustain,
we train to grow.
Because every rep, every run, every drop of sweat
is fuel for the weekend. 💼💪🏽🏃‍♂️

we lace up before sunrise,
squeeze in those sessions,
recover, reset, and repeat.
All for that moment —
when the weekend hits and we hit the trails. 🌲🔥

This is our rhythm.
Work. Train. Thrive. Repeat.
All for the love of the trails.

See you this weekend.
See you on the trails. 🏔️🌿

Ultribe Paderu by Cdr Yaseen Mohammed.

I was born recently in 2021 in the hills of Paderu,
To test your patience and see what you can do,

I feel blessed to see your happiness and joy,
To see you run and the fun you having my boy,

The clouds will greet you the moment you step out,
I will ensure best of the visuals and make you shout,

You will run and walk and even crawl to complete me,
At times you will fly, I always cherish what I see,

Don't be scared of the jungles and the trees around,
When you are tired, be relaxed and just sit on the ground,

I have volunteers to ensure you get water and salts,
They will be waiting for you at key locations as your halts,

When you reach half way, just smile and turn around,
Mighty Vanjangi awaits you, its a hidden treasure about to be found,

You climb the hill to breath the cold air and see the town,
I assure you, you will feel like a king wearing a crown,

Most scenic beauty of the hill is worth the climb,
You will puff your lungs while you ascend each time,

Finish me, touch the finish line, you will be given my medal,
You will feel winning a trophy and will be made to feel very special,

You will laugh, sing and even cry when you achieve me,
I stand next to you with your joy, pain and see you set yourself free,

Everyone tells that I am tough and mad and what not,
I have all the treasure to offer to you, come see what I have got,

I bet that I will be one of the best memories of your life,
You will share my story with your friends, husband and wife,

I am getting tougher, even though my name remains the same,
You will find me wild and see I have grown when last you came,

My name has crossed nation and people greet me from abroad,
I feel elated to see myself grow, with idea of one person and his nod,

I am fun, I am cult, I am different from others you see,
You will understand as I hold a lot of joy and it's key,

Meet me every year in Dec, I stand big and tall at the same place,
I will take you to new hills but stand at the same base.

Thank you so much, boys!

The only thing my team and I still need to master is how to handle Gen-Zs like them! 😂😂😂
