Ulaan Baatar Marathon, Mongolia
The second Ulaan Baatar marathon was run today!
Below left you can see a picture of possibly the oldest participant–83 years old. He nearly knocked my glasses off after the photo was taken in his eagerness to give me a traditional Mongolian greeting.
The runners were first serenaded with the horse-head fiddle, a traditional musical instrument you may have seen in the film weeping camel (photo top right).
And then they were off!
Sign up to my E-zine to be kept up-to-date on the latest happenings in Mongolia, and for prompt information regarding the next marathon and how to participate (even the organizers own website hasn’t been updated with entry details for this year!).
