Something About Everest
Starring: Mitch Hale, JP Mcloone, John Ward, Duncan Tebb, Tammy Ward, Holly Graham, Emma Willliams, Joy Leaper
In the midst of one of the most deadly seasons at Mount Everest, eight members of Chocolate Box Training took to the slippery slopes of the Himalayas with their eyes firmly set on the start line of the Everest Base Camp Marathon. They wouldn’t all make it. There would be tears, there would be moments of utter fear, and there would be moments of self-reflection that made the finish line completely insignificant.
Our first ever production by Chocolate Box Films, this is a story of ordinary people, doing an extraordinary thing - and how it changed their lives forever.
After flying into the worlds most dangerous airport, Lukla from Kathmandu, Nepal you are faced with a nine day hike to the start line of the Everest Marathon at Everest base Camp.
Over the nine days you will climb from under 3000m elevation to 5364m at Everest Base Camp, where you get the unique experience of being able to spend the night on the glacier.
Emerging from the beautiful mountains of the Himalayas you pass through towns of the Khumbu Valley and its very welcoming locals. Staying in tea houses along the way before you rise above the tree level and into landscape usually referred to as the end of the world.
You have sun, wind, rain and snow on this physical and mental journey. There are often tears but just as many laughs to match.
Don't forget after all this you have a 42km full marathon to run and you have to get down one way or another.
For any trail runner, adventure athlete or enthusiast the Everest Marathon or Everest Half Marathon offers a unique experience.
