Everest Marathon Fund Supports NSP

5/4/2018

0 Comments

 
NSP has been awarded £4,000 (approximately $6929 Canadian dollars) from the Everest Marathon Fund! Funds were raised through their annual race, where trekkers tackle a gruelling and treacherous course. The race starts at Gorak Shep (5184m), just below Everest base camp, and finishes in the Sherpa ‘capital’ of Namche Bazaar (3446m). The course is a measured 26.2 miles/42 km and, although it is basically downhill, the trail undulates and there are two steep uphill sections. The race starts at 6:30 am and there are cut-off points at Tengboche monastery (14 miles – 12.30 pm) and Chorkhung (20 miles – 2.30 pm), just above Namche Bazaar. The last 6 miles, out to Thamo and back, are on an exhausting undulating trail. It is essential to finish by nightfall at 6.00 pm.

Thank you to all of the incredible competitors!
