Pangong Frozen Lake Marathon

ASFL welcomes you to the running experience of a lifetime which previously made into the Guinness Book of World Record for becoming Asia’s first and the world highest frozen lake half marathon. On Feb 25th 2025, athletes like you can make history by continuing a new breed of adventurers. By competing in  the World’s highest frozen lake marathon, you can become one of the truly selected to  race on the top of the world – at the Geographic Third Pole. Surely you will feel on top  of the world when you manage to overcome the extreme sub-zero temperatures and  finish a full and half marathon run in one of the remotest parts of the planet. 

We are officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Record for becoming the world’s Highest Frozen Lake Marathon which in a way declares our run among “the coolest runs in the world”. The races happen in two different categories, men and womens with position holders for both the categories separately. You have the opportunity to run 41km, 21km and 5km on frozen pangong lake with the majestic landscape in the backdrop.  

This is not just a run, it is about spreading awareness about rapid melting marking it as the second edition of the last run implying this could be the last run on the frozen pangong lake as glaciers are rapidly melting due to global climate change. 

Who says you can’t walk (or run) on water? This  remarkable event offers you the opportunity to do  exactly the same on the frozen waters of the famous  Pangong Lake in Ladakh. The Pangong Frozen Lake  Marathon is limited to 100 runners of all abilities for this  year. Every step is taken on pure ice, it’s the flattest race  you’ll ever run and an experience you’ll never forget. 

Frozen lake marathon has been a well known adventure  activity worldwide including Icebug Frozen lake  marathon in Norway. Running in winter is not an easy  task, but running on a frozen lake makes it thrilling for  adventurers all across the country and the world. This  run is a psychologically and physically demanding one.  This event is organized to enjoy Pangong not only in  summer for tourists but also in winter for the Tough.  Pangong lake is situated at an altitude of 4,350 meters  above the sea level which makes it the world’s highest  salt water lake. 

This year’s event includes both full and half marathon on frozen  Pangong lake after proper acclimatization at Leh prior  the event. There will be a medical team and hot water  points at an interval of 5 km, an ambulance will also  accompany and be available throughout the event. All  the finishers will receive an exclusive Ladakhi traditional gift after crossing the finishing line.
