About This Event

Run the classic 42.195 km through a course that begins inside the bustling Pokhara Stadium, and leads you on a journey through both urban charm and natural wonder. Early on, you’ll pass city neighbourhoods still waking up, with local architecture and temples offering glimpses of cultural life. As you leave denser streets, the route opens up to lakeside views, earthy green hillsides that frame Phewa Lake, and skies where mountain peaks are etched sharply against dawn’s light. The mixed road surfaces—some sections smooth, others more rustic—add texture to the run and call for mental toughness as well as physical endurance. As the kilometres accumulate, expect parts of the route with gradual climbs and descents: nothing extreme in steepness, but enough to test pacing and resilience. Particularly in the later stages, as you approach areas around the airport road, the support from communities may thin slightly—but the scenery and the horizon open wider. Finally, the finish at Camping Ground, Phewa Marga offers both relief and reward: runners cross the line with majestic views of the lake, the mountains behind, local cheering still strong, and a palpable sense of achievement. For those who love long-distance running, this is as much a spiritual journey as a race.
