The popular Kantipur Half Marathon will return for its 12th edition on May 18th. Originally initiated in 2011 by the Kantipur Media Group (KMG) to mark its 18th anniversary, the event has grown into a national phenomenon.
The Kantipur Half Marathon features men’s and women’s half-marathon races, a corporate run, and a wheelchair race. Thousands of runners, including international athletes, participate annually.
Global IME Bank has become the event’s chief sponsor. An official Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Kantipur’s Marketing Manager Sagar KC and Global IME Bank’s Marketing Chief Dilip Pokharel during a ceremony on Thursday.
