THE HORR LOOP
CHALLENGE 2026
Now, on the occasion of the 18th anniversary (December 2026) of our nation's second-longest ring road, let's take on a ride challenge around our city.
The Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (HORR) spans 170 kilometres — a complete loop passing through Kokapet, Kollur, Patancheru, Sultanpur, Medchal, Shamirpet, Keesara, Ghatkesar, Pedda Amberpet, Shamshabad and back.
Total elevation gain: 750 metres. Highest point: 630m. Lowest: 440m. Top riders finish in under 7 hours. Most average riders take 9+ hours.
Flexible Start: Riders don't need to start from Narsingi Solar Cycle Track. Begin at any HORR exit nearest to you — just return to the same exit to close the loop and complete the challenge.
THREE STEPS TO
CLOSE THE LOOP
Pick any HORR exit nearest to you. Registrations open 1 July 2026. Ride anytime between 1 Sep 2026 and 31 Dec 2026 at your convenience.
