About This Race
The Ladakh Marathon is among the world's highest and most extreme running events — with a full marathon option reaching 5,400 metres at the Khardung La mountain pass, widely regarded as one of the world's highest motorable roads. The multi-distance course runs through the surreal moonscapes of the Indus River valley, past ancient Buddhist gompas, under fluttering prayer flags, through Leh's 17th-century royal palace, and across Himalayan desert terrain unlike anywhere on Earth.
