Disappointed in Kathmandu Marathon Management

I did half marathon, in 2:35. Strictly from my beginner's perspective

  1. Traffic Management: From tilganga to gaushala to chabhill chowk. Tilganga katey pachi gaushala pugne samma kata ho volunteer? Left kudne ho ki right ho ki thaa nai chhaina. Aadi left kudecha Aadi right. Ma chai left gaye ani zebra crossing bata opposite lane ma, ani tei footpath ma jadai they. Tya volunteer pani opposite lane mai thyo gaushala chowk ma. Tara water station chai feri left lane ma raicha jay bageshwori mandir ma. I geuss left lane hidnu parne thyo sadai. Tara k tha volunteer eauta thyo chowk ma bhanena usle. Ani tya bata guheswhori marg pugne samma ni last traffic thyo. Baki thau ma ta bato thulai thyo so no issue. Main chhahine thau ma bhayena management.
  2. Finish line management: The entry to the stadium was crowded af. Last ma round hannu parcha bhanera kati lai thaa nai payena ekchin. Koi eta hinecha koi uta, koi track bich ma photo khichira cha.
  3. Water after finish: Ma 2:35 tira pugethey na kera chha, na Pani cha, medal laune kata ho thaa chaina. Sab saki sakecha. Koi le feri 5 6 ota kera haldai thyo jhola ma 🤣. What are you charging 1200 for yar. Ma dhila bhayera ho ki testai ho ?
  4. Toilets: yo chai mero suggestion matra ho, tyo route map ma kata kata public toilet cha indicate gardiya bhaye sajilo huntyo hola. Bato bato koi mall ma koi pasal ma ko jhadi ma chiri rathyo. Maile chai thyo dhobi khola pull nira bhete public toilet relief bho.

So this is strictly from my perspective. Aba etro event organise garna obviously garo huncha hola. Hope they've tried there best. Yedi haina bhani chor haru sab. 18th marathon bhanecha etro garda samma ta they should've been better.

Anyways thanks to the organisers for this event. Weather ni babaal bhayo. Pani parcha ki bhanera tension bhatyo ekchin ta. Tara MAJJA AAYO.

Hope everyone had fun

what running shoes can i get for 12k?

gave the see js chaitra this year, got major cash cause of good result from relatives and shi so now i actually have the budget and time to do running consistently

open to any brand, would prefer buying at a physical store/showroom rather than ordering online if possible

used to run 3ks-5ks in damn sneakers so 🙏😭 ill def be happy with a shoe that isnt complete cardboard on asphalt

Kathamandu Marathon

The weather was absolutely beautiful.Maangement on the other hand can still be better.Chakrapath area in my opinion is the worst place to run in

Are you guys ready for Kathmandu Marathon? 🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🥇

Omg guys this year it is going to be my first full marathon! Kinda excited kinda terrified! I have done half marathons in the past but i have never attempted a full marathon! I have seen people cry at the end of the finish line so I’m super excited but at the same time the thought of that covering that distance is also scary for a beginner hehehe! (Plus i haven’t really trained for it so let’s see fingers crossed and i really hope my mental fortitude is strong enough to push through 42 km 🫣)
PS: i hope that the medal is nice as well i don’t want to see any wooden medals for that price (no shade 😹)
