Running Everest tells the story of a group of adventurers from
around the globe who embark on a remarkable journey through the
Khumbu Valley of Nepal, battling high-altitude sickness, deplorable
sanitary conditions, freezing temperatures...and enjoying every
minute of it! When they reach their destination, Mount Everest Base
Camp, they turn around and run a marathon, the highest marathon in
the world, back to civilization. Are they extremists? Or the new
generation of ordinary people? Written with humour and passion,
Running Everest explores the culture, inhabitants, and the delicate
balance of Hinduism and Buddhism in the breath-taking Himalayas,
topped off by an exhilarating race over glacial moraines, high
altitude plateaus, and steep rocky climbs, all in the shadow of the
highest mountain on earth. Holly Zimmermann, the first
international woman to reach the finish line of the 2018 Mount
Everest Marathon, recalls her incredible Himalayan journey. Fans of
her first book, Ultramarathon Mom, will be thrilled to be reunited
with some familiar names in this next narrative, including her
running accomplice, Beatrice, a Zurich-based fashion-blogger who is
equally tough in running shoes as in high heels, and Kyaron, a
young Nepalese environmentalist. This book is for everyone:
runners, trekkers, mountain lovers, Everest fans, and anyone who
adores a good story. But be warned, after reading Running Everest,
a part of you may long for adventure.
