Together, these three races trace the Himalayas across seasons – from snow to sky to forests and rivers.
Summit Slam is a year-long trail running circuit that brings together three Himalayan races, across three seasons and three distinct terrains.
It isn’t about a single perfect race day.
It’s about consistency, commitment, and returning to the trail – again and again.
Summit Slam is designed for runners who want more than a one-off race experience.
By registering for the Slam, you commit to running all three of our Himalayan trail races within the same calendar year. Each race unfolds in a different season, on a different kind of terrain – together forming one complete circuit.
There’s no single finish line.
The Slam is completed over time.
The aim is to add new routes year on year as we grow our local community.
Most races are about big moments or one perfect day.
Summit Slam is about what happens between race days – the training blocks, the resets, the comebacks, and the discipline to return to the start line again.
