Organizer

Kudum

Kudum — which literally means “To Run” in Nepali — is a bunch of slightly unhinged runners who believe there’s no better way to spend a weekend than to voluntarily suffer and convince others to do the same. What started as a crooked idea — “let’s make a race that’s painful for everyone, including us!” — slowly turned into Tsomgo Ultra, a beautifully brutal ultra-distance run across the wild landscapes of Sikkim. We’re not here to make it easy. We’re here for the burn in the legs, the gasps for breath, and the mountain views that almost make it all worth it. Almost.
