Thimphu Marathon – Run for Global Peace (2026)

Greetings from Beautiful Bhutan.

The Thimphu Marathon – Run for Global Peace returns for its 2nd Edition on Saturday, 19th September 2026, inviting runners and travelers from around the world to experience Bhutan in a truly meaningful way.

Following the success of its inaugural edition, this year’s marathon is thoughtfully aligned with two of Bhutan’s most vibrant cultural celebrations — the Thimphu Tsechu and the Wangdue Phodrang Tsechu. This unique timing allows participants to immerse themselves not only in a world-class running experience but also in Bhutan’s rich traditions, spirituality, and community spirit.

Set against the breathtaking Himalayan landscape, the marathon route takes you through scenic valleys, peaceful villages, and the heart of Thimphu — creating an experience that is as inspiring as it is unforgettable. More than just a race, this is a journey of connection, purpose, and harmony — a true Run for Global Peace.

At Druk Heritage Tours (Since 2006), we curate seamless travel experiences around the marathon, combining comfortable stays, cultural exploration, and personalized service — ensuring your time in Bhutan is enriching from arrival to departure.
