We’ll be meeting in the vibrant city of Kathmandu, where we will be staying the first night of our adventure. After your flight arrives in the afternoon, you’ll be whisked to your hotel. Here you’ll get to know your fellow travellers whilst enjoying an evening of amazing Nepali food and start learning more of what you'll be experiencing this week.

A full day spending time with the projects and people you’ll be supporting, really getting to know them and seeing the difference you have made first hand. This will be a super engaged day, one to question, to learn, to share ideas, to create new concepts that can elevate the organisations we support. Your openness to driving change is what makes this day so special. Once we are done, we will be heading back to the hotel for your final night in a room - the canvas awaits you tomorrow.

This is a first for an Impact Marathon. With a hike taking about the same amount of time as a bus, we figured this was the day to take you up to our new home in rural Sindupalchowk via a 6/7 hour hike. You’ll walk through the stunning Shivapuri National Park, pass through the remains of Chisapani village after it was destroyed by the 2015 earthquake, and climb up for panoramic views eventually ending in the home of Nepal Impact, Batase, the village that runs.  A lorry will take your bags on up so you just need a day bag with you…and that first warm rum punch at our pop-up Sunset Bar will make the entire walk worth it.

We rise with the sun and head to find out more about the various project plans we have in the community. There will be projects to suit you passions and your skills - from the new school farm to the Early Childhood work, to business plans and more…this is a real insight into rural Nepali life and an experience we are thrilled to finally share with you.

The morning will continue the work from Thursday, and a full immersion into the Batase community. From the magical sunrise, the sounds of a village waking up to excitement of another day working in this beautiful place. We will close out by lunch time, ready for your race briefing as the team goes about planning the next day’s events - and welcoming all the local runners coming up from Kathmandu to join us for a spot of camping and running.

The moment has come - race day. We’ll head to the startline together and run as a community in what will be one of the most magical experiences. Get ready for stunning trails and a remarkable finish line moment, as you take the final steps of the hardest race of your life. And at that finish line, we’ll have a huge welcome home for you. Party into the night, you deserve it…

The race is over and you'll have the usual aches and pains to remind you. We will be organising a bus back to Kathmandu - so make sure you flights are in the afternoon as this is not a fast journey at all! 

To take your mind off having to return home, we have organised some incredible Bolt-On Adventures that show you the very best that Nepal has to offer. Alternatively, and reluctantly, we will let you return home and transfers to the airport are included!
