About the Event

Embark on a transformative journey in the heart of the Himalayas at the Thimphu Marathon on Saturday, 19 September 2026. This second edition is more than a race; it's a global movement for peace and mindfulness, set against Bhutan's majestic mountains and guided by the nation's philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Choose your challenge from five distances: the ultimate high-altitude 42.195 km Marathon, the scenic Half Marathon, the community-focused 10 km Peace Run, the family-friendly 5 km Green Run, or the mindful 2.5 km Memorial Run. Each step through the serene valleys and cultural landmarks of the capital city supports environmental awareness and sustainable, high-value tourism. Experience the unique blend of physical endurance, spiritual discovery, and warm Bhutanese hospitality in an event that champions a mindful, peaceful, and interconnected world.
