THE KARNALI REGION OF NEPAL IS A REGION TO ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR DESTINATION OF NEPAL CALLED RARA TAL, BIGGEST RIVER OF CIRCUMFERENCE 15 KM LOCATED AT ELEVATION OF 3000 METER.
THE COURSE ON OUR WATCH RANGES FROM 49 KM TO 51 KM AND GOES TO THE PEAK ELEVATION POINT AT 4200M. SPECTACULAR, BRUTAL AND CHALLENGING RACE WITH TWO HARD CLIMBS, MANY TECHNICAL TRAILS, AND DOWNSLOPES. THE RACE IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS BUT ANYBODY WHO HAS INTERMEDIATE LEVEL OF ENDURANCE, IS FASCINATED WITH ADVENTURE AND HAS AFFINITY TOWARDS CHALLENGE WILL DERIVE THE BEST OUT THIS RACE.
THIS RACE IS A TOUGH ONE TO ORGANISE AND KARNALI CLUB DOES THE BEST TO ORGANISE THIS STUNNING RACE ANNUALLY. THE CLUB UNDER SORAJ SHAHI AND HARI ROKAYA IS THE MOST ACTIVE CLUB IN NEPAL TO TRAIN BOTH MALE AND FEMALE ATHLETES FOR HIGH ALTITUDE TRAIL RUNNING CHAMPIONSHIPS.
