Kathmandu Marathon 2027

Fancy running on the roof of the world? ☝️ Among pagodas, ancient palaces 🏯 and Himalayan peaks in the background 🗻, the Kathmandu Marathon invites you to pace through the heart of Nepal 🇳🇵. It's in the month of November, at the dawn of the Nepalese winter ❄️ and white peaks, that one of the most beautiful countries in the world welcomes you to run its most iconic marathon! 🌟 Specifically in Satdobato, the event invites nearly 30,000 runners from 20 different nations every year! A moment of sport and sharing, as cosmopolitan as it gets! 💙 But more than just the marathon, you also have the choice to run a half, a 10 km, 5 km and a 3 km solo or as a team 😉.

Created in the early 2000s by a running enthusiast and ultra-marathon, this race has real added value in the eyes of the locals 😍. It promotes something deeper than performance and emphasizes this: a sound mind in a sound body 🧘‍♂️. Yes, hence the slogan "Build Healthy lifestyle" 🤓, the Nepalese are straightforward! There, the mind is a temple... 🫶 Between Hindu and Buddhist influences, the body is cherished, one is spiritually at peace, and what better than running to clear your mind and maintain good physical condition? 😁 A mantra that gathers more and more wellness enthusiasts at the gates of the Himalayas! 🤩

After running between the Durbar Square, the Boudhanath Stupa, the Tripureshwor to the Dasarath Rangashala, it's time to take off your carbon shoes 👟 and go exploring the surroundings 🚶‍♀️‍➡️. Your body will have given its all and deserves more than just a nap 😴. Head to an Ayurvedic spa, where a Nepalese steam bath (the Janzu) 🧖‍♂️ and a yoga session await you 🧘‍♀️, in the districts of Thamel or Patan. Among the sacred sites present and listed by UNESCO, we recommend the Swayambhunath (the monkey temple) 🦧 with its incredible view over the valley 😍. You can also take the opportunity to shop! There are many artisan shops brimming with musical instruments 🎻, incense 🪷, prayer flags 🏳️, etc. Perfect for collecting souvenirs and bringing them home ❤️. End your sports adventure by indulging in momos 🥟 and dhal bat 🍛. A real champions' recovery! 💪

So, are you convinced to embark on a journey to the land where worlds meet? ✨
