The Everest Marathon, held annually on May 29, starts from the iconic Mt. Everest Base Camp and celebrates the historic ascent by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. Runners can choose from a 21 km half marathon, a full 42 km marathon, or the extreme 70 km UTEM ultra-marathon, each offering breathtaking Himalayan trails and the challenge of high-altitude running. The courses pass through Gorakshep, Dingboche, Biber Loop, and Kala Patthar, combining rugged adventure with spiritual and scenic highlights.
