Arunachal Pradesh is set to host the much-anticipated 2nd Edition of the Tawang Marathon on October 24, 2024.

Jointly organized by the Indian Army and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh, the marathon promises participants an extraordinary experience running through the breathtaking landscapes of a region celebrated as the “land of mystic mountains.” The event not only highlights the spirit of endurance but also showcases the beauty of Arunachal Pradesh’s pristine environment and the invigorating freshness of its early mornings.
