RACE COURSE
A 50 KM race starting from Manali and going all the way up through Rohtang Pass with an elevation gain of 1490 m.
We start running uphill from 2000 meters – that's Manali and in just about 8 kilometers more than a full marathon run, you will have climbed 2267 meters when you reach the finish line of the Rohtang Epic. Needless to say, Rohtang Epic asks for some shredded calf muscles, and in the worst cases, an extra pair of lungs could do.
