The Route
The Bagan Temple Marathon features three competitive distances: full marathon, half marathon and 10k race. The relatively flat route takes runners through a temple wonderland and small villages where it feels like time has stood still. Sacred pagodas and beautiful temples are scattered across the plains, creating a mystical, striking landscape.
Conditions in November are typically hot and humid with temperatures reaching 30°C/86°F. The heat and dusty terrain is a challenge for most runners, but the beautiful temples, friendly villagers and the location’s otherworldly atmosphere make this marathon a true gem.
Tour Package
Entry in The Bagan Temple Marathon is part of a multi-day tour package, including the ideal balance of culture and adventure. Participants, together with family, friends and other running-minded spirits, will enjoy an unforgettable tour in the cultural hub of Yangon and the mystical plains of Bagan.
