The participants of The Everest Trail Race by The Elements have had the privilege of running at the bottom of two emblematic 8000m peaks, as Everest and Lohtse in today's stage. They have reached almost with their fingers Ama Dablam, which is known by the most wonderful mountain in the world. The have also navigated among historical summits in the alpinism such as Tamserku, Kantega or Tawoche. All this within 20Km and 3.246m of elevation gain in the 5^th stage with final in Tyangboche. Probably because of all the emotions experienced through the day, one of the most mentioned comments in camp has been “no other race in the world have such an amazing scenario”. And it is true, because the effort that needs to be done in order to organize a stage race like this one is sublime. Also for the participants who, with the strengths very exhausted and with the consequences of running in high altitude. They have needed to overcome two sections of very had ascenders during this almost last stage of the race. One, the uphill to Namche Bazar, main Sherpa village, with 600m after crossing one of the most iconic spots of the competition: the Hillary Bridge.

After crossing the main village of the Sherpa world, the runners have run towards Tyangboche, end of the stage, after having done an almost 400m downhill. At the end of the day, they have done a Bonus track of ascense with 450m of uphill slope in 2,5 Km to cross the finish line in Tyangboche. The environment is so wonderful to the eyes that the views suggest much information, while contemplating the amazing landscapes, with the Himalayan high summits really close.
