About the Challenge
What is Horrloop?
Horrloop is a self-navigated cycling event that takes riders around Hyderabad's outer ring road — all 170 kilometres of it. The course blends open highway stretches, semi-urban arterials, and quiet country roads. No chasing vehicle, no enforced checkpoints — just you, your bike, and the loop.
Horrloop is designed for riders who want to test their endurance on a course that respects their ability to navigate and self-manage. It is not a race. Riders are expected to know their limits and ride within them.
