Word about the Roof of the World Marathon 2015(August 25,2014) The Roof of the World Marathon is one of the world's few high-altitude marathons open to those who want to run at an average altitude well above the normal height for parachute jumping !! Starting at 5200m (17,000 ft) near Namuco in northern Tibet, the course tracks down to the Tashi Dor monastery at 4700m (15,400ft). Amazing scenery at an average course altitude of (4866m/15,964ft). The only downside is that at high-altitude, your blood oxygen level drops as low as 70%, resulting in rapid heart rate & faster breathing. Basically, the higher you go, the slower you run - so this is a great race to ease back and take in the incredible scenery. If you've ever wanted to tick a high-altitude marathon off your bucket list, then the Roof of the World Marathon in Tibet is definitely for you. Good luck !! This is from the video posted by Mr.Brendan Smith at Youtube on August 23,2014.And if you could not see the Youtube,please see the same video we uploaded at Tudou,the largest video website in China: 　 http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/8dOyq0aCu48 If you are the first time to know the Roof of the World Marathon,you must be so excited to want to challenge the race at the so unique scenery in the world.
