Mt. Everest Stair Marathon

About this event

The Mt. Everest Stair Marathon takes the concept of vertical challenge to an extreme level. Runners tackle 100 laps of a specially designed stair course in Radebeul, accumulating 8,848 meters of elevation gain — the exact height of Mount Everest. Each lap climbs just over 88 meters, demanding consistent pacing and mental fortitude over what becomes an ultra-distance event of 84 kilometers. The format is unique in the trail and vertical running world, and spaces are limited due to the nature of the course. Organized by passionate stair racing enthusiasts, this event attracts athletes seeking something far beyond a typical mountain race — a test of endurance where the challenge is as much psychological as physical.
