A Legendary Trail, Now a Marathon Challenge (May 1-10)
Run across the spine of the Himalayas in this epic multi-day trail challenge on the world-famous Annapurna Circuit. Designed for endurance athletes, trekkers, and adventurers, this event combines long-distance trail running with high-altitude mountain exploration — and it all happens in one of the most scenic and culturally rich landscapes on Earth.
This is not a timed ultra — this is an experience. You’ll ascend from subtropical valleys to snow-covered passes, pass through villages inhabited by Gurungs, Manangis, and Thakalis, and face the ultimate challenge: Thorong La (5,416m).
