What Runners Are Saying…

Keir G.
For me, finding somewhere like Shangri-La to come and do a race, is one the things you have to do before you die.

Keir G.

Brendan S.
The climb up the mountain track was really tough, but hitting the ridgeline and the first glimpse of the snow peaks made it all worth while. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.
