Sikkim's Phurba Tamang Conquers Tsomgo Ultra Marathon for the Third Time

Sikkim, a state in the North East of India, is once again feeling proud as Phurba Tamang emerged as the winner of the 3rd edition of the Tsomgo Ultra Marathon held on Sunday. The marathon, dedicated to passionate runners, had a target of 75 kilometers. Phurba Tamang completed it in the shortest time of 9 hours, 48 minutes, and 16 seconds, showcasing excellent athletic performance. For her achievement, she was honored with a winning medal and a cash prize of 35 thousand rupees. Prior to this, Phurba Tamang has won several competitions, demonstrating her prowess in running. In May 2022, she and her team covered a distance of 185 kilometers from Gangtok to Gurudongmar, situated at an altitude of 17,800 feet, setting a new record despite the oxygen scarcity in the area. The event commenced from Ganesh Tok in Gangtok and concluded at Tsomgo (Changu) Lake, located at an elevation of 12,500 feet above sea level. Phurba Tamang's victory highlights her dedication and hard work in the field of sports. With guidance from her coach Basant Pradhan, she has carved her name in the sports arena. Earlier this month, she secured the third position in the Women’s Open Category of the 9th Apollo Tyres New Delhi Marathon, further becoming an inspiration for women in Sikkim and the rest of the Northeast. #tsomgo #marathon #sikkimmarathon #sports #tsomgoultra #TheCordBharat
