The Mt.Everest Challenge Marathon was called "the
worlds most beautiful marathon" by the editor of Runners World Magazine (UK
3/96).

The 8 day trip sets a
comfortable pace allowing acclimatization days to relax at Lake Resort, visit monasteries,
tea estates, Mountaineering Museum, Markets, and enjoy spectacular views of Everest and
Kanchenjunga at National Park. Runners may run as they wish during the first two days of
the Stage Race.

The Marathon is run (Stage Race
Day 3) from 11,815ft along a ridge line footpath with spectacular mountain
views. At about 18 miles, the course turns down through lush jungle and remote villages at
6,600 ft. Remaining days are free to run or walk.
