Ram Krishna Maharjan: Meet Nepal’s only runner to have completed World Marathon Majors

On a cold damp afternoon in April 2023 in London, Ram Krishna Maharjan, 66, was running the most notable race of his long career. Having already finished five Major Marathons in the world after he turned 50, the London Marathon was the only one remaining from the World Marathon Majors .

Prior to running it, he had issues with his leg and was not 100 per cent fit. His training was not complete, but in his mind, he was ready. So on a damp afternoon, he ran the race and in 3 hours and 32 minutes, completed it and became the only Nepali citizen to complete the World Marathon Majors.
