third international snowman race
Laya, Gasa to Chamkhar, Bumthang
24 October 2026
The World’s Toughest Race
This race of a lifetime follows the trail of the famous Snowman Trek, which has been completed by fewer people than Everest. The audacious event appropriately turns up the heat, focused as it is on Climate Change.
Glaciers are melting, polar ice caps are thinning and coral reefs are dying. Climate change threatens the well being of all mankind.
– His Majesty the King of Bhutan
THE ULTIMATE RACE FOR CLIMATE ACTION
Covering more than 185 kilometers (115 miles) through the wild and challenging terrains with mountain passes as high as 5,470 meters (17,946 feet) the Snowman Race is an ultramarathon, challenging the world’s fittest and most elite runners to help raise awareness of the impacts of climate change.
Bhutan has made one of the world’s most far-reaching climate promises to forever remain carbon neutral and its forests helps keep the world’s climate change at bay by absorbing carbon dioxide.
