About the Event

More Than
A Race

Sikkim Soldierathon 3.0 is a Himalayan running event held in salute to the men and women of the Indian Armed Forces — the soldiers who hold the line along some of the harshest terrain on earth, so the rest of us can run freely through it.

After the response to the first two editions, the 3.0 route climbs higher and runs longer. Civilians, serving personnel, veterans and families line up on the same start line, on roads framed by pine ridges and the Kanchenjunga skyline. Organised by the Indian Army, with SkyAim Events managing the event.
