Fish Tail 100 Ultra enters the ATM calendar as 3rd Nepalese event

We are delighted to announce that Fishtail 100 Ultra in Pokhara, Nepal, has joined the ATM Championship cand Grandmaster Quest calendar on the weekend of 16/17 May. The event is organised by the experienced Himalayan Trail Running company and already had several editions over the years. Fishtail 100 features a 100km and 50km that serve as ATM Championship Qualifiers, with the 100km of course also offering a Grandmaster point for finishers. It’s the third Nepalese event after Manjushree Trail Race and Jumla Rara Ultra. This year’s edition aims to place the spotlight on the event with a view to next year.

The 100km starts in Ghachowk and ends in Dhampus in Pokhara. As the race in Jumla, Fishtail reaches very high altitudes during the race, going well over 3500m above sea level. It’s a mountain trail, often technical, so the 100km here cannot be your first 100k race. Total elevation for the 100km is approx 7600 hm.

The 50km may be among the toughest of the entire ATM season. Elevation gain is estimated at over 5000 hm!

Both the 100k and 50k races start on Saturday morning at 5:30 am and 5:40 am respectively.

The organising team can assist with any queries on how to get to Pokhara and on accommodation requirements. All details can be found on their website page and facebook page linked below.
