Annapurna Marathon & Base Camp Trek

Run one of the world's most scenic marathons

Discover a different side of Nepal with an unforgettable journey to the heart of the Annapurna Himalaya.

Join Eternal Peak as we combine the breathtaking Annapurna Base Camp Trek with the legendary Annapurna Marathon, one of the world's most spectacular trail marathons.

Unlike the Everest Marathon, this adventure follows lush forests, traditional Gurung villages, terraced farmland and alpine valleys before arriving beneath the towering amphitheatre of the Annapurna Sanctuary. After days of trekking through one of Nepal's most beautiful regions, you'll stand on the start line at Annapurna Base Camp ready to experience a marathon unlike any other.

This isn't just another race.

It's a journey through culture, mountains and personal achievement that will stay with you long after you return home.

The Annapurna marathon

Held each year to celebrate the first successful ascent of Annapurna I, the Annapurna Marathon is one of Nepal's most unique trail running events.

Beginning at Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m), runners descend through glaciers, alpine meadows, rhododendron forests and traditional villages before finishing in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Expect spectacular scenery, challenging trails and an atmosphere unlike any city marathon.

Whether you're chasing a personal challenge or simply want to experience one of the world's most memorable races, this event delivers an adventure that few runners ever experience.
