The athlete covered a distance between 470 and 480 kilometers, including five Himalayan passes, which totaled an elevation of over 8.5 kilometers.
“My goal was to complete the run in under 100 hours, and I managed it in 98 hours and 27 minutes. The record was officially set in 2023, but the certificate took a long time to reach me through delivery services and customs in India. Now it is finally with me,” Sufi wrote on her social media.
The high-altitude route she ran is considered one of the most difficult in the world for long distances due to extreme conditions: high mountains, unpredictable weather, and low oxygen levels.
Previously, Sufiya had already set a record by becoming the fastest woman to run the route from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, and she also participated in the Golden Quadrilateral Run, which spanned over 6,000 kilometers.
