About this race
Held at over 3,050 m (10,000 ft) in the eastern Himalaya near the India-China border, the Tawang Marathon is billed as India's first high-altitude marathon. First run in 2023 and jointly organized by the Arunachal Pradesh government and the Indian Army, it starts and finishes at Tawang's Gyalwa Tsangyang Gyatso High Altitude Stadium. The late-October event offers full (42.195 km), half, 10 km and 5 km races; thin air and steep mountain climbs make even the shorter distances punishing.
