Observations, Learnings & Updates

  • 4K kids distance launched.
  • 17 & below category divided into 12 to 17, and 11 & below.
  • With the increase in the number of winners (added categories), medals switched from handcrafted to normal ones in the interest of not filing for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy and living in a cardboard box.
  • Collaborated with French School in Kathmanu - 56 badass kids show up!
  • Start times changed to promote trail safety: staggered start for 15K and 7K (10mins apart), owing to growing numbers. 4K and 2K start 90mins after 7K, to allow lead pack of longer distances to finish.
  • Trail team relieved and replaced on disciplinary grounds.
  • Biggest delay for start, 45mins from actual start time.
  • A handful of cases of heat exhaustion (including one severe) resulting from late start.
  • Trail chaperons available to run with kids if parents opt for a longer distance.
  • Website revamped for the third time. Full race pack, photo albums, results and participant summary centralized for easy access.

What is KTM Series?

Day hikes (twice a month) and trail races (once a month – on hold at the moment) in the outskirts of Kathmandu Valley. These are not run-of-the-mill trails, rather we’ve spent several months scouting to ensure fun, safety, wilderness and a chance to experience culture and lifestyle, suitable for families and kids, and for people of all fitness levels. Escape the chaos, and join likeminded folks on these easy, soft adventures on the grand hills you see in the horizon. Enjoy fresh air, greenery, great views, old villages, rivers, lakes, what have you.. a perfect and healthy getaway for you and your loved ones!

Caolin Spannuth Verma

The pre-info about the hike, communication and pick-up points were well explained and clear. The organizers had really made a lot of effort to ensure a good hiking experience, regarding the path, snack and lunch and accommodating the pace to the group. I highly recommend hikes by KTM Series!

Race Reviews »

In just over a year, it has become the center of a wide and diverse community. Few events with this much complexity manage to feel both so well organized and so personal at the same time.

Peter Graif

Thank you for a really nice run, excellent route and, as always, so many good people. KTM Series is really turning into one of the major highlights of living in Nepal.

Nic Raastrup

A huge thanks and gratitude to the KTM Trail Run Series for their tireless work that resulted in amazing events. We look forward to the next iteration and more memorable miles in the hills.

Nate Park

My son Daniel (aged 9) got gold medal twice for racing and he is still proud of this, in fact it has boosted his confidence so much! Naomi (7) got silver and they still have their medals hanging in their rooms.

Zarina Mursalieva

I have loved the races and have enjoyed sharing the experience with my two young daughters and my wife as well.

Jaddon Park

They have transformed this race into a family event. Never thought that a race could be a family event. Love for the race is growing with each passing race, especially for the Little Troopers. Cheers!

Krishna Kumar Maharjan

Very many thanks indeed for organising the run on Saturday. It was absolutely excellent, and I was delighted to be able to participate. Excellent run, with perfect organisation. Many thanks from us all.
