Pangong Marathon

One of Ladakh’s most frequented attractions, the Pangong Tso Lake is set to become the venue for India’s first- frozen lake marathon. The maiden edition of the Pangong Frozen Lake Marathon is scheduled to take place on 20 February 2023. div /divdivApart from mesmerising views of the Himalayas, this high-altitude race offers athletes a chance to make a Guinness World Record by participating in the world’s highest frozen lake marathon. In the past, countries such as Norway and Russia have hosted similar races, but none have been at an altitude of 13,862ft. Along with experienced athletes for the marathon, the organisers are also inviting people who wish to walk for a cause as they wish to spread awareness about climate change through sports. The 21-kilometre marathon, with Lukung as its starting point, will end at Maan village. Seventy-five selected athletes from India and abroad are participating in the run, giving them an opportunity to make a bid for a Guinness world record for the world's highest "frozen-lake marathon",nbsp;/divdivbr/divdiv /div
