Nepal Run

Congratulations to All the Runners and Volunteers!

A Thank You Note to Everyone, Recognition of the Incredible Role Our Volunteers Played specifically Rohan Rai in Nepal, who helped us for medals, TSHIRT’s and trophies order.

The race concluded yesterday, May 31st, and what an incredible day it was. This was a flawless musical display, an event second to none, and none of it would have been possible without you.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers, participants, sponsors, spectators and media for making it a grand success. Special thanks go to the RNR team and all the volunteers from Nepal Run UK, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. While many of us were enjoying the music, food, and the huge gathering at the start, the hearts of our volunteers were joyfully marching and manning various points along the course – making sure no runner had to think twice about following the exact route, eliminating confusion, cheering everyone on, and providing support whenever needed.

To our incredible medical team – thank you for making sure every field of injury or treatment need was covered. To our volunteers manning the bag drop area, race registration and bib distribution, goodie bag handover, medal distribution, and finisher and volunteer t-shirt handover – thank you. To those marking the course, leading the race as the race lead biker, taking on professional photography, doing the physical hard work since 6:00 AM, cleaning up the course after the event, and setting up all the tents and gazebos – we see you and we thank you. And to anyone who took on any other role during the race that I may have missed – please know that your contribution was equally valued and essential.

I would love to name everyone individually, but I’m afraid I might miss those who lovingly joined the volunteer group after finishing their own race. Without you, executing the race in such a flawless way would not have been possible.

On behalf of RNR and Nepal Run UK members, we salute this incredible team of volunteers!

Brand new event organised by RNR community collaboration with Nepal run UK is just round the corner. Please along with your friends and family to support. Let’s make the changes in our communities for the better future🎉

It’s been five days since the incredible experience at the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in South Africa 🇿🇦 — a marathon that is on its journey to becoming the 8th Abbott World Marathon Major.
More than 16 Nepalese runners from across the globe came together to be part of this special event. Representing the UK were our coach Santosh Rai alongside Padam Kunwor, Prakash Gurung, Tilbikram Sambahamphe, Narayan Panta, Mohan Karki, Iron Lady Anju Sigdel, Dev Raj Pradhan, and Baljinder Singh.
From Nepal, we had Shambhu Dahal, Sushil Kumar Shrestha, Paritosh Gupta, Sanjeev Aryal, and Dharma Maharjan proudly representing our community.
A special mention to Mr. Khop Gurung from Serbia, who has now completed over 163 marathons in 79 countries.
David Mendies and Rajesh Shrestha from the USA also joined us to experience the brand-new course in the beautiful city of Cape Town.
Honestly, the best part was not only the marathon itself, but the unforgettable moments we shared together throughout the trip. The vibe, friendship, support, and laughter made this journey truly memorable.
The weather on race day was perfect. The course was quite technical in the first half with around 208m elevation gain, including a long uphill stretch around the 31km mark. But everyone smashed the course with impressive performances.
Huge congratulations to Dharma Maharjan, who finished 3rd in the Abbott World Championships 50–55 age category and 10th overall in his age group with an outstanding time of 2:41:25.
Paritosh Gupta also achieved an amazing personal best, improving by 15 minutes in only his third marathon.
After the race, we had a wonderful post-event gathering at Padam Kunwor’s place filled with delicious food, drinks, laughter, and celebration Huge thanks to everyone who travelled from Nepal, the UK, and the USA to support our athletes.
We also had fun marathon quiz games with prizes, and our coach shared updates about an exciting new project we are currently working on in Nepal 🇳🇵

Special thanks to Mrs. Michelle Kunwor for hosting such a beautiful gathering.

Our running community continues to grow across the world, and we will keep working hard to inspire and motivate more people towards health, wellness, and unity through running.

Running is not just about running — it changes lives and uplifts communities.

This is just the beginning.
