Stupa to Stupa 50km Trail Marathon – 24 March 2018

by TRAIL RUNNING NEPAL

Swayambhu and Boudhanath are the two most important and iconic Stupas in Kathmandu. You start in the early morning at Swayambhu (nicknamed the monkey temple for reasons that will become obvious) and run to Boudhanath at the other side of the city … but the long way round … via 53km of hilly trails. With one big ascent at the beginning of the race to Jamacho Gumba the rest of the race is on beautiful mostly runnable trails skirting the edge of the valley rim. At a steady walking pace it can also be completed in under 12 hours. It’s a really great day out! Register here!
