Dr Amit Samarth (India) Visits UltraCycling Magazine
Dr. Amit Samarth joins UltraCycling Magazine for a wide-ranging conversation on the explosive growth—and real challenges—of long-distance cycling in India and beyond. A two-time Race Across America finisher, Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme veteran, and winner of Race Across India, Amit brings a rare dual perspective: elite ultracyclist and global public health professional trained at Johns Hopkins. His journey spans frozen Siberian forests, the full length of the Indian subcontinent, and the inner battle that defines ultra-endurance racing.
Beyond the finish lines, Amit is shaping the future of endurance sport through Miles N Milers, the organization he founded to build a culture of cycling, running, and healthy living across India. He discusses what it takes to grow ultra-distance racing in a developing endurance ecosystem—training gaps, infrastructure hurdles, mental resilience, and the importance of community. His races don’t just test limits; they create pathways for new athletes and elevate India’s place on the global ultracycling map.
This show is live on Facebook and YouTube, and viewers are encouraged to jump into the chat and engage directly with Amit. Whether you’re chasing your first 400 km ride or your next transcontinental finish, this conversation dives deep into why endurance matters—and how it can change lives.
