Race description:
Race will start at 7:00am the morning of May 29, above Everest base camp, at the foot of the Khumbu icefall 18,000 ft. This is the highest starting line for any race in the world. The start will wind through glacial moraine until reaching the trekking trails that will lead up/down to the village of Namche Bazaar 11,500 ft. You will be dropping in altitude, but not in elevation gains or loses, remember nothing in the Himalaya is really all down hill.
NOTE: This is a camping trek, with our own cooking staff. All camping equipment will be provided.
