Embark on the definitive Nepalese running adventure with the Capital to Country Multi Day Ultra, a profound five-day, 120-mile journey from 23rd to 28th November 2026. This unique event blends the self-sufficient ethos of the Marathon des Sables with the majestic alpine trails of the UTMB, creating an unparalleled test across the breathtaking foothills and ancient jeep tracks of rural Nepal. Starting from the historic town of Sanku, you’ll traverse a landscape of lush forests, remote villages, and jaw-dropping Himalayan vistas, immersing yourself in a culture rarely seen by tourists. Choose your challenge: carry all your kit for the pure, hardcore experience, or opt for the supported lighter-load option. More than a race, it's a sustainable expedition that directly benefits local communities, culminating in a traditional village celebration and a monk’s blessing at dawn. With only a handful of places available, this is your call to a transformative, bucket-list ultra where every step connects you to the soul of the Himalayas.
