About This Event

The 10 km race is for those who want speed and scenery in compressed form. You’ll depart from Pokhara Stadium at dawn, with the energy high among runners and spectators alike. The early kilometers are energizing: flatter urban stretches, vibrant local life, possibly early sunlight touching lakesides, and distant symbols of the Himalayas awakening in light. This portion is ideal for setting a fast pace, as many of these sections are among the smoother and more consistent road surfaces. Later in the 10 km, the route leads towards the finish at Camping Ground, Phewa Marga, and incorporates lakeside scenery, local cheer, and natural beauty. While there may be minor undulations or slight surface changes, the relatively shorter distance means less wear over time—and more capacity to take in the views. This race is perfect for experienced runners seeking a strong time, or for enthusiastic amateurs wanting both challenge and the aesthetic joy of Pokhara Morning.
