Although a veteran of many marathons and ultra running events, this is by far the biggest running challenge I have ever faced.
The race itself starts at Gorak Shep (5184m) just below Everest base camp and finishes in the Sherpa 'capital' of Namche Bazaar (3446m). In order to acclimatise naturally to the high altitude the race is preceded by a 15-day trek in the Everest region. This allows for high altitude training under medical supervision.
Please see website below for further information about the race.
