Tenzing Norgay Trail Run

The Tenzing Norgay Trail Run is not just a race. It is a journey into the soul of Darjeeling.

Inspired by the legacy of Tenzing Norgay, this run takes you onto the very trails where history, struggle, and mountain spirit come alive. These are not man-made routes; they are lived paths walked by locals, shaped by nature, and rooted in the traditions of the Himalayas.

Set in the heart of Darjeeling, the course connects everything that defines our hills—dense forest trails, rolling tea gardens, quiet village paths, river crossings, and steep Himalayan climbs. In one run, you experience the true character of the mountains.

The Race Experience

We offer four distances:

8 KM – The Short Course

• 16 KM – The Intermediate Course
  
  30 KM – The Long Course
  
  50 KM – The Ultra Course
  
  

This is not a flat run.
This is where you earn every kilometer.

Why This Run Matters

The event is held around Everest Day weekend, honouring the historic 1953 Mount Everest ascent, when Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made history.

• Reviving historic trails of Darjeeling

• Promoting trail running culture in India

• Supporting local communities and tourism

• Encouraging sustainable mountain experiences

In My Words

This is Darjeeling’s first run where trail meets history. Where every step connects you to something bigger than yourself.

You don’t just run here.
You feel the mountain.

You run through legacy.
