 Great Tibetan Marathon 
The Tibetan Marathon & Half Marathon is a unique chance to sense and explore one of the world´s most fascinating corners. Situated on the Tibetan plateau in the peaceful area of Ladakh, The Great Tibetan Marathon takes its participants through the vast Indus Valley and past ancient monasteries and majestic mountains, making everyone remember that they are much further than 42 kilometres from home.
 Polar Circle Marathon  -  Greenland
The run is for the more adventurous, tougher runner that can cope with the cold, ice, snow and steep ascents over the whole 42 kilometres. It is a hard route, during which the run takes us past ice and snow apart from when we run on it! The marathon takes place during the beginning of the Greenlandic winter, however it has yet to fully take hold. We expect lots of ice, sunshine and blue skies as a backdrop to this adventure.
 Big Five Marathon
Nestled in the heart of Big Five country in South Africa's Limpopo province lies Entabeni Game Reserve with 12.000 hectares of pristine African Bush veldt and bustling with a huge diversity of mammal and bird species. This enchanting landscape is dominated by the majestic sandstone rock formation 'Entabeni' and is the scene for our "Big Five Marathon", where we will actually be running among Africa's famous big five: elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard, a good incentive to better your personal best!
The marathon will include a steep run up the escarpment, over a number of small hills and easy river crossings.
