Win a spot in the Everest Marathon and an amazing trekking adventure in Nepal, but be prepared to put in the effort to qualify.
Sprint Towards Everest Base Camp with Inov8's Natural High Challenge!
Everest, the mighty mountain that's conquered the hearts and minds of adventurers worldwide, has been a hot topic recently, thanks to an thrilling summit season. But fret not if a trip to Base Camp seems unattainable – you might just get a shot at racing there!
British outdoor powerhouse Inov8 has whipped up a thrilling challenge for its community: run or hike as much ascent as humanly possible between June 23 and July 6, and win the adventure trip of a lifetime to Nepal! Join their Natural High Everest Challenge to stand a chance to participate in the iconic Everest Marathon, held in the Khumbu region, home to Mother Nature's loftiest peak.
The Everest Marathon is an annual trail event with a rich history, welcoming runners from across the globe to push their limits. Participants set off from the stunning Everest Basecamp, sweating it out at 17,598ft (5,364m) above sea level, and traverse rough tracks and trails en route to the finish line. This monumental event takes place every year on Everest Day, honoring the momentous first ascent in 1953 by legendary climbers Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary.
At the end of the Natural High Everest Challenge, the system will tally up all the ascents recorded by participants, revealing how many times the Inov8 community has virtually scaled the imposing Everest, which towers at 29,032ft (8,849m). Inov8 has teamed up with renowned adventure travel company KE Adventure to offer one lucky winner an 19-day guided group trip from Kathmandu, which includes an entry into the race.
Wannabe participants can share their progress on social media with the magic hashtag #INOV8NaturalHigh. The eventual winner will be chosen at random, regardless of the vertical ground they've covered.
Inov8 production and marketing director, Michael Price, shared his enthusiasm for the challenge: "The natural high that sport gives us is a powerful, all-natural high. Together, let's unleash our inner athlete, join forces, and take on this electrifying challenge… Can we achieve Everest’s height every day for two weeks and amass over 100,000m? Let's aim high."
