MARATHON
Running a Marathon is itself a challenge but running the LADAKH MARATHON (42.1 km) is even a greater challenge. A tough race at a high altitude, the Ladakh Marathon is not for those with no experience in running marathons but for those who have had dedicated themselves to several months of training.
