Annapurna Marathon

The Annapurna Marathon is a trail marathon (42.2 km) in the heart of the Nepalese Himalaya, held on 3 June 2027 in the Chhomrong area, and regarded as one of the most epic trail races in the world. The full marathon distance begins at the iconic Annapurna Base Camp, at 4,130 metres, then descends across a series of spectacular terrain, via Fishtail (Machapuchare) Base Camp, traditional villages and dense forest, to the mountain village of Ghandruk at 2,012 metres.

Athletes push their limits on steep, relentless climbs, technical descents, unforgiving rocky trails and refreshing crossings of shallow rivers, all while taking in the breathtaking Himalayan scenery. The high altitude and rugged course make it a must for elite athletes and extreme adventure enthusiasts from around the world.
