About this race
The Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon, billed as the world's highest, has run every 29 May since 2003 to mark the anniversary of the 1953 first ascent. Runners start near Everest Base Camp and the Khumbu Icefall at about 5,356m, then descend the thin-aired Sherpa trails of the Khumbu Valley to finish at Namche Bazaar. Reaching the start demands a multi-day acclimatization trek, and the altitude makes even the net downhill savage. Half, full, and ultra distances are offered.
