About the Event

The Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon invites runners from around the globe to experience one of the most challenging and awe-inspiring trail races on Earth. This annual event, dedicated to honoring the historic first ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, takes place high in the Himalayas, starting at Mt. Everest Base Camp.
Runners have three distance options: a full marathon, an extreme race that includes additional challenging terrain, and a half marathon for those seeking a taste of this extraordinary adventure without committing to the longer distances. The course winds through rugged landscapes dotted with ancient trails and remote Sherpa villages, offering breathtaking views at every turn as it descends from Everest Base Camp into the stunning Khumbu Valley.
Participants are supported by expert guides who provide essential services such as oxygen supply stations along the route due to the extreme altitude. This race is not just a physical challenge but also an opportunity to connect deeply with mountaineering history and culture, making every step of this journey unforgettable.
The Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon promises an unparalleled blend of adventure, endurance, and cultural immersion in one of the world’s most iconic settings.
