Tenzing-Hillary Everest Marathon is probably the most adventurous trail run in the world. The journey begins with a sweeping scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, then we trek through Sherpa villages with beautiful view of the world’s highest snowcapped peaks. The highest spot of this trip is Kalapatthar at 5545m/18,200 ft, from the summit of which we can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Himalayan peaks, ranges and glaciers including Mt Everest a stone’s throw away.
With New Mount Everest Height 8848.86m, from the Government of Nepal, the Marathon will run as “New Higher Mount Everest Marathon” to celebrate the new increase of Mount Everest Height after the 2015 Earthquake in Nepal.
The Everest Marathon is an international high altitude adventure sports event held on May 29 every year from Mt. Everest Base Camp crisscrossing the high Sherpa trails of Khumbu valley.

This is a 3 week commitment.. held every May 29, the anniversary of the first climbing, about a 12 day hike (a couple rest days) to the start line.. the altitude and terrain is a great equalizer. It’s the hardest thing, emotionally, physically and mentally that I’ve ever done. I’ve never quit a marathon, as my kidneys were shutting down.. I wanted to quit, but there was no where to quit to.. I finished in darkness, about 3 hours past what I wanted.. the most beautiful views ever.
