Nike’s ‘#RunHimalayas’ challenge all set to take running to a whole new level

In yet another effort to promote running, Nike has a brand new, super-exciting challenge lined up. Known as the #RunHimalayas Challenge, participants of this event get a chance to win an all-expense trip to run in the absolutely picturesque Himalayas. Yes, you heard that right – you actually have the chance to run the Himalayas!

This is a very exciting opportunity for runners to enjoy a fitness-themed holiday at a destination which is - there’s no other way to put it - absolute heaven. From high altitude training which helps the lung capacity, to the sense of absolute freedom in the untouched trails of the gorgeous mountain range – this is a fantastic opportunity that I believe every runner should take maximum advantage of.

You can get all the details of this event here.

Select top runners that clock the maximum mileage in this challenge will be deemed winners of the challenge. For a determined, hardcore runner, that may well be the easiest way to go away for a holiday where you do what you love, in maximum style!
