A NEW CHALLENGE
The Everest Base Camp trek, one of the most iconic treks in the world, is roughly 79 miles round trip. At 29029 TRAIL, your challenge is to complete 3 unique mountain marathons on 3 consecutive days (3X3) to equal the distance of this revered trek. This is not a race — this is you vs you. Return each evening to basecamp to recover and share the experience of that day's adventure.
Do you have what it takes to go 3X3?

RECOVERY SUPPORT
The best-in-class 29029 TRAIL recovery lounge will provide all the support you need to reset your body between daily marathons.
12 hours of forced rest each night provides an opportunity to reset your mind and body for the next day's adventure.
AID STATIONS
Well-stocked aid stations will be placed roughly every 5 miles (as terrain allows) on the route each day. Keep in mind these may feature a more limited variety than our mountain events, simply due to the terrain and how spread out they will be.
TRAIL will require more self-sufficiency by carrying a pack with water, electrolytes and food between aid stations.
What's Included
29029 TRAIL is similar to our mountain events, providing a premium, all-inclusive experience.
