What Runners Are Saying…
Kier G.
For me, finding somewhere like Shangri-La to come and do a race, is one the things you have to do before you die.
Brendan S.
The climb up the mountain track was really tough, but hitting the ridgeline and the first glimpse of the snow peaks made it all worth while. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.
Bertha E.
The race itself was amazing, the people and the landscape, the culture that you see in Shangri-La is like no other.
Maurice D.
Well organized race in a spectacular setting. If you haven’t done high altitude running, this is a new test for yourself.
