We recommend arriving in Sumdo/Kaza at least a week to 10 days ahead of race day
and if you can come earlier it is even better. High Altitude sickness occurs when your body
does not adjust to the altitude due to lack of oxygen. It is common to feel light headed when
you land in Leh as the air is thin and oxygen much less. Following the rules of
acclimatisation, you need to take things easy in order to acclimatise properly and not rush
around. On arrival, it is imperative to take “complete rest” on Day 1. You need to sleep on
arrival, go slow, not move around too much and not go to the high points around Spiti. It is
also important to keep yourself hydrated so drink plenty of water, soups and avoid alcohol
for the first few days.
With proper acclimatisation there should be no issues which is the reason we recommend
participants to come well in advance to prepare themselves and with so much to see and do
in Spiti valley, you can spend several days and weeks visiting the various sites, enjoying
activities like trekking and Star gazing and at the same time practicing for Race Day! So
Participants, come early, enjoy this awesome place and run for Spiti valley.
We recommend arriving in Spiti 7 to 10 days prior to the event so as to acclimatise
