Everest Marathon

The Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon is the world's highest adventure race, starting at Mount Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and finishing in Namche Bazaar (3,440m). Held every May 29 to honor the legendary 1953 ascent of Everest, this iconic event challenges international athletes and mountain runners to test their limits on rugged Himalayan trails, frozen moraines, and thin mountain air. It is more than a race; it is the ultimate adventure.
