Himalayan Rush is a result of twin loves- running and Begnas. It came from a desire to create an event that would be a real pleasure to participate in for those who love to run, cycle or swim and would also contribute positively to Begnas and its surrounding local community.
Eventually we hope this will be an event that will stand out in the adventure calendar of Nepal and in the Sprint and Standard distance triathlon calendar of the world, as a truly unique and enriching experience.
For those who run, swim or cycle for pleasure, for those who aren’t winning any prizes for the distances or places they’ve covered, for those who continue to baffle the people in their lives, for those for whom it is no longer a choice but has become something they must do for their happiness, for their sanity and for themselves – Himalayan Rush is for you.
The vision of Himalayan rush is to create a platform for those who want to push their boundaries just a little bit and experience what its like on the other side. To begin the first step on a different path; to step on the pedal for the first time; to test the waters and simply for a unique experience; Begnas is the perfect place.
The standard distance is of course for slightly more experienced, adventurous athletes who would like to push the envelope and do something tougher.
