The first runner among the overall competitors will receive a prize of one lakh rupees. Male and female runners will get first, second and third prizes at the rate of 50, 30 and 20 thousand respectively. According to the Acting President of the Himalayan Conservation Forum, Bhingmare Limbu, the contestants from Taplejung, Panchthar and Ilam, which are part of the Red Panda Corridor, will receive 15, 10 and 5,000 respectively.
According to him, a distance of 48 kilometers has been determined for all runners. "On the morning of August 5th, all the competitors will be kicked together," said Limbu, "the winner will be the one who arrives first, the second time the male will be the first for the male and the female will be the first for the female." The entry fee for international runners is USD 100. National runners have to pay Rs 3,000 and local runners have to pay Rs 1,000. It is said that necessary medicines, water, food materials etc. will be managed while running
. According to the platform, arrangements have been made to apply online. This competition is going to be held in Nepal for the first time with the aim of delivering the conservation message of the world's rare red panda to the country and abroad.
Open women's marathon and half marathon have been held since 2062 in Taplejung. This competition was conducted last year as well. This year, it is going to be a full marathon for all runners without stopping for half.
A runway has been established from the headquarter Fungling via Suketar Binansthal to Deurali, Kaflepati, Upper Phedi, Pathibhara temple. Examination sites will be kept at six places. The network had brought the team of ultra runner Meera Rai and conducted a survey of the running venue earlier.
Red pandas are found in the Pathibhara area and since conservation work is also being done in this area, the same area has been chosen for the marathon, according to the Red Panda Network.
