Nepal Impact Marathon
Join Nepal Impact Marathon
Welcome to the Impact Marathon Series! The Nepal Impact Marathon is not just a race; it's a journey through the heart of one of the most beautiful and culturally rich countries in the world. It’s a journey that will connect you with the some of the most immense people you’ve ever met whilst living in a community you would never normally get to visit, driving change, inspiring progress... and somewhere along the way, you'll realise you ran a marathon.
Of course, it’s not just marathon distance runs that are on offer in Nepal - we have the 10km, and Half Marathon routes available so no matter where you are on your running journey, there is an event for you. We never set up our races to be the fastest, or best, or toughest, or any of the other buzz words you hear about running events, no, we set up our races to be deeply impactful, life-changing, and empowering. After 9 years, $1.5million funds raised for awesome causes, and thousands of energised Impact Runners - we have certainly started something special, now it’s your time to be part of the movement.
Powerful Impact
For the 7th Nepal experience, we are bringing together all we have learnt to drive a truly powerful narrative and impact throughout the week. From our time in Kathmandu, to our work in Batase, you will see firsthand how we can prevent trafficking, support Gender Equality and create real opportunities for the children of Nepal.
We aim for all our Impact Runners to smash through at least £1000 of fundraising - this is what brings the Impact Week alive and leaves a lasting legacy in the communities we seek to serve. The Impact Marathon Foundation has the goal of catalysing change and supporting tangible, grassroots organisations with our funds, affirmation and a platform to tell their story In Nepal we have year on year honed our approach to supporting the right charities to tackle the biggest problems.
The Experience
Your journey begins in the magical city of Kathmandu, where ancient traditions meet bustling streets. Of all our Impact locations, this is the city that truly feels other-worldly, and it’s easy to get lost, fall in love, and be transported away from all you thought you knew.
Our first and last nights are hosted here in the city, with a traditional, Nepali-owned hotel to stay in - a little piece of tranquillity and comfort before heading up to our host village of Batase. Within the village we sculpt our own pop-up Athletes’ Village that will be your home for the majority of the trip. It’s hard to describe this place, and honestly, we don’t want to spoil the surprise. You’ll be blown away!

How hard are the race routes?
We offer three distances for you to choose from - 10k, 21k and 42k. Impact Marathon races are truly unique and special… some even say life-changing! But there is one thing they are not - easy. Our races primarily take place on trail, can be highly technical in nature (think steep inclines and descents, rocky trails) and be at altitude (hello Himalayas!) and in challenging weather conditions (e.g. the sandy desert heat of Jordan!). That said, we have runners of all abilities join us - including many first-time marathoners and some first-time 10k’ers!. Training is necessary, but a lifetime of running experience is not. But we should warn you… once you join the Impact Family you are bound to be hooked on running!!
