Tahura Trail Running Race is a cross country competition set in open natural tracks over uneven and challenging grounds. Those taking part in the race are advised to anticipate weather changes such as rain, blistering sun, and climate drop. Different from the regular street run, trail running demands extra stamina and spirits.
Taman Hutan Raya Ir.H. Juanda (Tahura) or the Forest Park of Ir.H Juanda is located in the highlands of Bandung, a mere 5km from the heart of city. The forest area is a natural reserve which also acts as a front garden that provides fresh air for the city. The trees that dominate the “mini” forest provide refreshing atmosphere for visitors and make this a perfect place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here, you can also visit the Dago Waterfall, the stone tablet a gift from the King od Thailan, an open air entertainment stage, the Ir.H.Djuanda Monument, children playground, Japanese Cave, Dutch Cave, the Omas Waterfall, and more.
