GREAT HIMALAYAN RUNNING FESTIVAL

How often do we get to experience the 'insignificance' that we carry within us? In the expanse of the Greater Himalayas, greatness is not the magnanimity of the subject or its attributes. It's about how the tiniest of those attributes can do the unthinkable and magnificent.

It's going to be all about running and racing in the pristine setting of the grand Himalayan landscape. The Rohtang Epic, the Hell-00 – 135, the High 5s, and the infamous Hell Ultra – all flavored with the festivities of endurance sport and ultra running set up the perfect stage to achieve greatness.

THE CHALLENGE

What should a festival of running look like?
We dared to imagine the unthinkable for us, back in the year 2016. The idea of running the Leh Manali Highway through the mighty Himalayan Passes was bound to find its shape. 

With the best of their fields, you will be experiencing the festival of running – literally above the clouds. As colorful as it could be in this barren Himalayan geography, we have imagined a real 'hell' for you
