About This Event

The Annapurna Marathon is an extraordinary test of endurance set in the heart of the Himalayas. Starting at the Annapurna Base Camp, runners ascend and descend through a breathtaking alpine landscape, navigating rugged trails, terraced fields, lush forests, and remote villages. The course combines steep uphills, technical downhills, and occasional flat stretches, demanding both stamina and focus. Along the way, athletes are treated to mesmerizing views of the Annapurna range, including Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and other iconic snow-capped peaks. This marathon isn’t just a race—it’s an immersive Himalayan adventure that challenges the body while inspiring the spirit. Participants experience a true cultural and natural journey as the route winds past traditional Nepalese villages, where local hospitality, chants, and cheers provide motivation. Aid stations, food stops, medical assistance, and volunteers are strategically placed along the course to ensure safety and support. The finish in Ghandruk Village offers a moment of triumph framed by dramatic mountain vistas, terraced fields, and vibrant local culture. Completing the Annapurna Marathon is not only an athletic achievement but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with the raw beauty, culture, and spirit of Nepal’s high mountains.
