About

The race

The Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon is the world’s highest-altitude trail race, starting from Mt. Everest Base Camp and descending through the spectacular Khumbu Valley. Held annually to honor the first successful ascent of Everest, the race includes extreme, full, and half marathon distances. Traversing rugged terrain, ancient trails, and remote Sherpa villages, this event offers a rare chance to race in the shadow of the world’s tallest peak with expert support and a deep connection to mountaineering history.
