About the Event

Embark on a unique pilgrimage of body and spirit at the world's first Lumbini Peace Marathon in Nepal on Monday, 2nd March 2026. Far more than an athletic event, this "spiritual sports" race is a moving journey through the sacred landscapes of Kapilvastu, the ancient Shakya Kingdom and childhood home of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. Choose from the full marathon, half marathon, or a 5km distance, each offering a profound opportunity to run amidst UNESCO World Heritage sites and alongside monks and pilgrims. Conceived as a "Marathon of Pilgrimage," it invites runners to experience inner reflection and global harmony, transcending the standard race format. Led by Nepali running legend Baikuntha Manandhar, the event combines deep cultural reverence with professional organization. This is the ultimate destination race for runners seeking a meaningful challenge that feeds the soul as much as it tests physical endurance. Secure your place for an unforgettable experience that redefines the purpose of a marathon, connecting every step to a 2,600-year-old legacy of peace.
