The Great Tibetan Marathon: 42 km of physical challenges in spiritual surroundings
A marathon is never just a walk in the park. But if you're a real hard-core marathon fan you won't settle for the flat, asphalted routes in the classic city marathons. Fortunately, a marathon can be moved to mountainous regions with laborious ascents and uneven tracks in an altitude of 3,600 meters.
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, July 19, 2007 - On July 21 the Tibetan Plateau in northern India will be swarmed with runners joining in The Great Tibetan Marathon. The base of the race is the scenic and atmospheric town, Leh, capital of Ladakh Province - the westernmost province on the Tibetan Plateau and one of the only places in the world in which Buddhism permeates the society and the everyday life of the residents.
