As a Founder of the company, I am committed to fostering innovation and driving our mission forward. I have been actively involved in the tourism and hospitality industry since 1999. In 2005, I founded my company, Adventure Trekking Club, where I have successfully hosted running events for over a decade and organized MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) packages. In 2022, I expanded my portfolio by launching a new event management company, Travel and Running Trips.

Over the past nine years, I have personally hosted an international six-stage race, along with various other events for more than a decade. I am now excited to announce my first local race event, which will be organized without any international partners.

My vision is to promote running events that celebrate the rich culture and traditions of our region, integrating festivals, culture, and athletics into a unique experience.

While you may have encountered various running events and travel packages throughout your journey, you have yet to experience an event quite like this. This race will offer you the opportunity to run on scenic trails while engaging with the local Bhutanese community, enjoying overnight stays in farmhouses and village camps.

As the owner of my own running event and travel company, based in the capital city of Bhutan, I am a dedicated professional event manager. I am committed to hosting running events seamlessly, ensuring a memorable experience for all participants.
