Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race
First held in 1991, the Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race has time and again been described as the most spectacular running course in the world! You will experience breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga (4 out of 5 of the world’s highest peaks).
Regardless of your ability level – whether a 10K, marathoner, or ultra marathon runner – you can run at your own pace. There are no age limits or stage cutoff times. Five daily stages of 24 – 20 – 26 – 13 – 17 miles are designed for middle-distance runners. Alternating running and walking, you can easily take in mountain views, catch a glimpse of National Park wildlife, as well as chat with villagers at fully stocked aid stations every few miles.
The 100 mile course traverses through isolated jungle, pine forests, small settlements and villages and across major rivers. Yaks, wild ponies, and the Red Panda are seen at higher elevations. At each overnight stop, meals are fully catered and accommodations are in rustic mountain huts. The race is most often described as the “Most Scenic Race in the World”, offering panoramic views of the world’s highest mountains.
