New Race in the Eastern Nepal's mountain trails — the Himalayan foothills of Kopche. Wild, remote, and unlike any race you've run. Well off the beaten track.

3-5 April 2026

Results

Raw, Remote, Remarkable

ITRA-certified 60K ultra race with +4,013 m elevation. ITRA Points 3. UTMB 100K M qualifier. Capped at 100 runners for an intimate, high-quality experience.
A shorter ultra 45k race for the ultra rookies!

the ULTRA 60K

The course climbs hard and doesn't apologise for it. Over 60 kilometres, runners gain more than 4,000 metres of elevation — through rhododendron forests burning red and pink in early April, across ridgelines where the air is sharp and the views open suddenly and completely, down into valleys where the trails narrow to single track and the forest closes in again. The terrain is honest. It asks something real of the people who come to run it.

April in eastern Nepal sits at the edge of spring. The rhododendrons are in bloom at altitude. The mornings are cold at the start in Kopche, and the high points of the course will be colder still. The weather can shift from hot to cold. Runners will need everything in their pack.

ITRA 500+ Female
ITRA 600+ Male

45 KM

45 K race starts from the heart of the kirat highland at Ghodetar market area- a small space for local commerce for the surrounding villages.
The race meets with th 60k route at Bayang Bazaar checkpoint at approximately 10km.

The race route does not have stringent climb as in the 60k ultra and will be a great trail too debut an ultra challenge.

Open to all, but be well prepared.
