J&K’s Hans Raj, Ladakh’s Stanzin Chondol Claim Full Marathon Titles At 12th Ladakh Marathon
The 42 km race, which began and ended at Leh’s NDS Stadium, drew a strong field as part of an edition that welcomed 6,600 runners from across India’s states and Union Territories, along with participants from more than 30 countries. As World Marathon Majors qualifier, the Ladakh Marathon also offered athletes the chance to book their spot at the 2026 WMM Wanda World Age Group Championship, provided they met qualifying standards in their respective categories.
Rita Satish Patkar delivered one of the standout performances of the weekend, becoming the rare runner to claim victories in both the Khardung La Challenge and the full marathon within just two days; the Bengalurean finished top in the veteran female category of both races. In the Half Marathon on Sunday, Tsetan Namgail took top honours in the men’s race with a time of 1:13:10, while Stanzin Dolkar led the women’s field, finishing in 1:30:14.
