ABOUT SPITI MARATHON

Spiti Marathon isn’t just another race—it’s an extraordinary adventure at the roof of the world. Set in the mystical landscapes of the Himalayas, the marathon invites you to run amid pristine snow-capped mountains, winding rivers, and ancient monasteries.

In its 2nd Edition, the Spiti Marathon promises runners from across the globe an unmatched experience blending passion, perseverance, and picturesque views. 

Acclimatization Tips

High-Altitude Prep
Spiti Valley sits over 3,800 meters above sea level, so acclimatization is crucial to avoid altitude sickness. Arrive at least 3-4 days prior to race day. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity on day one, and follow a light but carb-rich diet to help your body adjust.

For a full acclimatization guide, including local stay options, check our Acclimatization Tips page.

Clothing & Gear Guide

Dress for Success
Temperatures can drop dramatically in Spiti. Layer up with moisture-wicking fabrics, windproof jackets, and thermal base layers. Good trail shoes with ample grip are essential, and don’t forget a hat or buff to protect from strong mountain sun.
