Mana Pass Challenge 2026 Founding Edition

Mana Pass Challenge 2026

The Mana Pass Challenge is a high-altitude Himalayan road endurance event proposed in the Mana–Badrinath region of Uttarakhand under the “Summit or Surrender” Himalayan Race Series.

Set in one of India’s most extreme mountain environments, the event operates in terrain approaching approximately 5,600 meters above sea level, making it among the country’s rare high-altitude road endurance initiatives.

Unlike conventional road races, the Mana Pass Challenge focuses on:

• high-altitude acclimatization,
• endurance in extreme conditions,
• disciplined preparation,
• and responsible mountain operations.

The event includes a structured acclimatization phase prior to race day to help participants prepare for the demands of extreme altitude.
