About the Bhutan International Marathon
This destination race pairs Bhutanese cultural travel with a relatively small road marathon. Its valley setting and striking fortress finish make it one of the country's signature running events.
Course
The full marathon starts near Tashithang and trends downhill through villages and farmland. A suspension-bridge crossing and the finish beside Punakha Dzong anchor the route.
Race-day weather
Early March is generally dry and cool at the start, then warmer in the valley. Strong sun and altitude can affect runners arriving directly from sea level.
