Comments | • One day of rain during the Winter and it had to be that day Thus nobody stepped back. Organization did not failed us , the runners ! Race director Richard Ball offered slow participants the possibility to have an early Start at 6:30 am as Shirapuvi gate Keepers ( Army soldiers ) agreed to let us go through instead of 7:30 am, Hat off to them and Richard for persuading them. the 2015 Route is a complete new version, absolutely different from 2014 ! A Flatter start before heading toward some killer stairs taking the 50 km runners to Heaven above 2500 m high. Amazing scenery – Great trail. The race gives 1 ITRA point which means It can apply for a UTMB point. An other reason to come to Nepal , enjoy Kathmandu and run it • Note : 5 out of 5 Toes |
