Welcome to 7th JRUM Marathon
Event Details
This Jumla Rara Ultra Marathon is a prime important and famous Ultra-Marathon in Nepal. The race will be held in 8-10 May 2026. The race starts from Jumla bazaar (2305m), and finishes at the Rara lake (2990m). The Jumla Rara Ultra Marathon, previously measured at 49 kilometers, has been updated to a distance of 51 kilometers starting from its 6th series. although it is uphill and downhill, the trail undulates and there are three steep uphill and downhill Danphe (3500m), Kavra cave, Bhulbhule (2950m), and Chuchemara (4017m). we believe this Jumla Rara Ultra Marathon will definitely help to boom adventure sports tourism in Karnali as well as it provides athletes by offering and creating national and international platforms to compete
