Mustang Trail Race

The Mustang Trail Race offers an extraordinary adventure for avid trail runners through Nepal's trans-Himalayan region, blending physical challenge with cultural immersion. Spanning 170 kilometers across eight stages, this high-altitude race takes participants through the breathtakingly picturesque and culturally rich Tibetan landscape. As runners traverse ancient trading paths, they encounter awe-inspiring caves, charming villages, and sacred monasteries and Hindu temples, from the Lower to Upper Mustang area. With full logistical support, racers carry only a light daypack while the rest of their gear is transported for them. Nights are spent in cozy tea-houses, enjoying warm, hearty meals, and downtime offers opportunities to soak in Nepal's captivating culture. Participants spend a total of 12 days engaged in this adventure, which includes travel days, a briefing in Kathmandu, and a hiking day. Limited to a group of up to 30 international runners, the event fosters camaraderie and invites promising young Nepali athletes to hone their skills. The race unfolds against the dramatic backdrop of the Annapurna Massif, at altitudes ranging from 2,900 to 4,300 meters, creating an unparalleled setting for this friendly and challenging event.
