Half Marathon - 21K
The 21 KM Marathon is the shortest distance in Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon which is three-seven digits (7+7+7 KM), which has Very High Spiritual meaning in Buddhism. We add another seven for 7 meters, making our marathon 21km + 7 m to Spiritualize Run connected with Lord Buddha’s Life. By doing this we also earn some spiritual value in our RUN for our Everest Marathon Runners.
Buddhist philosophy believes that Buddha walked Seven Steps immediately after birth, Queen Maya Devi died after seven days after giving birth to Buddha, on the seventh year during his meditation Sakya Prince Siddhartha Gautam got enlightenment in Bodhgaya. Buddha’s body was kept for seven days after his death for the Emperors and Kings to arrive there to decide what to do next.
