About Us

nepal adventure running federation

The Nepal Adventure Running Federation is Nepal’s primary organization dedicated to promoting Adventure and trail running and nurturing new adventure runners.
Nepal’s towering Himalayas and high mountains provide an abundance of adventure opportunities, making it a hub for mountain adventures. Interest in trail running is steadily increasing, with many athletes transitioning to trail running due to its numerous health and physical benefits, combining cardio and strength activities.
The federation focuses on major mountain running adventure activities and their variations, including ultra running, mountain running, sky running, trail running, stairs running, alpine running, beach running, cross-country running, orienteering, fast packing and others.
