Route 17 daagse Groepsrondreis Everest Marathon with Paul Goldstein & Valerie Parkinson

The Tenzing-Hillary Marathon takes place on 29th May each year to celebrate the anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest by the late Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953. 2022 will be the 19th edition of this monumental event - the highest altitude marathon in the world. Led by Wanderlust Guide of the Year 2021, Valerie Parkinson, this special one-off departure is accessible to 'supporters' (non-runners) and marathon entrants alike -  trekking together for all but three days, the supporters will trek to Everest Base Camp and then descend in time to cheer athletes over the finish line on race day, whilst the runners will spend two nights preparing at Base Camp before undertaking the full Everest Marathon. The race is a challenging 42km/26mile race, starting from below the ice seracs at Everest Base Camp and finishing in Namche Bazaar. Adding yet more excitement, Exodus' Paul Goldstein will be undertaking this endurance test in a giant tiger suit to raise money for the 'Worth More Alive' campaign in the fight to save the Bengal tiger from extinction.
