About the event

Embark on the ultimate Himalayan adventure at the Manaslu Trail Race, a profoundly challenging and culturally immersive multi-stage event from 7th to 19th November 2026. This unique 140km, 7-stage journey offers a part-circumnavigation of the world’s eighth-highest mountain, taking you from lush river valleys to the breathtaking 5,160m Larkya La pass, with optional trails leading to the very base of Manaslu itself. Unlike typical expeditions, you run with a light pack while supported by a dedicated team, sleeping in traditional tea houses and sharing hearty meals, allowing you to fully absorb the awe-inspiring landscapes and rich local culture. Designed for those seeking more than just a race, it combines the raw physical test of high-altitude running with the deep camaraderie of a small, like-minded international group and meaningful interaction with invited Nepali running talents. This is not merely a competition; it’s a transformative two-week voyage across ancient trails, where every gruelling climb is rewarded with silent monasteries, glacial vistas, and a profound connection to the majestic spirit of the Himalayas. Secure your place for a supported adventure that redefines the boundaries of trail running.
