In the 3rd Edition\, Lahaul experienced heavy snowfall\, followed by a series of avalanches\, leading to total roadblocks. So\, the location was shifted to Jana in Kullu. The 4th Edition of Snow Marathon Lahaul was again run in 10.5 km loops. For the 5th Edition\, the route will be run in a fascinating loop of 21.097 km. The course will begin from North Portal and head out towards Khoksar and Gramphu\, and then back up the Manali-Leh Highway and then higher up to the whitewashed hill link roads across the monasteries and open snowed over fields and meadows and then down to the semi-frozen Chandra River. The running route is a mix of level roads\, river-valley floor\, trails and hill ascents and descents. Does it get more dramatically better and even more satisfying and challenging than that!? Be ready for a surprise at every step\, twist and turn\, and the natural slide down and back! \nClick here for the location. \n \nShare the event with your friends
