    •     Ladakh's Pangong Lake marathon, dubbed the "world's highest frozen lake marathon", took place on 20th February 2024, inviting the participation of about 120 runners from seven countries. •     This year marked the second edition of the event, organised jointly by Adventure Sports Foundation of Ladakh with the support of the Administration Union Territory of Ladakh and the 14 Corps of the Indian Army. •     The event was organised with the agenda to bring attention towards the melting Himalayan glaciers, which pose a massive threat to our environment. •     The run was titled as 'theastrun', suggesting that this might be the last run on the frozen lake, which faces a threat due to climate change.
