Female Athletes Nirmala Rai – 80KM Kalpana Budha – 40KM Pushpa Serma – 40KM Manju Sunuwar – 40KM Male Athletes Milan Kulung Rai – 80KM Diwakar Budha Magar – 12KM U23 Bishal Rai – 80KM Lokendra Rai – 40KM Competing at APTRC 2026 represents much more than participating in another race. It gives these athletes the opportunity to compete on an international stage, gain valuable championship experience, proudly represent Nepal, and increase the visibility of Nepal’s growing trail-running community throughout Asia and beyond. I was fortunate and honored to accompany six Nepali athletes to the inaugural APTRC in South Korea in 2024. Team Nepal delivered an outstanding performance. Priya Rai finished 2nd in the 40KM, while Man Kumar Roka Magar finished 5th in the 80KM. Tirtha Tamang, Gopal Tamang, Tilak Sunuwar, and Rashila Tamang also performed extremely well, helping Nepal make a strong impression at the first-ever Asian Trail Running Championship. Now, a new group of athletes has the opportunity to continue that journey. It is their turn to carry Nepal’s name on their backs, compete alongside some of the strongest trail runners in Asia, and demonstrate the remarkable talent, endurance, and potential that exists within Nepal’s trail-running community. Why We Are Fundraising To help make this opportunity possible, we are organizing an In-Person and Virtual 5K Fundraising Run in support of the eight athletes traveling to China for APTRC 2026. Our goal is to raise $7000 US dollars. Funds raised through this campaign will help cover essential travel-related expenses, including: Round-trip airfare to and from ChinaVisa application and processing expensesLocal transportation while in ChinaNutrition Support While in China Our goal is to reduce the financial burden placed on these athletes so they can concentrate on what matters most: preparing for the championship, competing at their highest level, and representing Nepal with pride. How You Can Help? Whether you: Run the 5K with us in Cincinnati, complete the 5K virtually from anywhere in the world, make a contribution, or simply share this campaign with your family, friends, and running community—your support matters. Every registration helps. Every contribution helps. Every 5K completed in support of these athletes brings Team Nepal one step closer to the APTRC 2026 starting line. Thank you for supporting Nepal’s elite trail runners, Team Nepal, and the continued growth of Nepali trail running on the international stage. Click Here to Learn About the APTRC 2026 Event!

Join us on Saturday, November 7, 2026, for the 3rd annual Memorial 3.1-mile (5K) run and 1-mile walk in honor of the legacy of Dr. John (Jack) O'Handley. Affectionately known as "Dr. O", Jack was the Medical Director of the Mount Carmel Street Medicine program for 25+ years, where he was a beloved physician, teacher, mentor, and friend to all. Dr. O was known by his patients to be a compassionate, loving, and gentle doctor, who loved a good corny joke. Dr. O practiced what he preached in living a very healthy lifestyle. He ran a 5K nearly every weekend with fellow colleagues, students, and friends, inspiring many to lead a more active life. The Street Medicine program provides no-cost medical care to individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. The mobile medical coach is accessible at nine locations across central Ohio and provides urgent care services for acute illness, infections, wounds, and unmanaged chronic disorders. Patients can also receive assistance with social needs such as food resources, specialty appointments, and connection to primary care. Three days a week, medical teams take to the streets, literally, bringing medical care to individuals living outside. The Street Medicine program has been in operation for forty years, reducing access barriers for those who are underserved. The Street Medicine program logs over 4,000 patient encounters annually. Proceeds from the race will support medical care provided in the community on behalf of the Street Medicine program. On the day of the race, the Street Medicine team will be collecting needed items that can be given a new life with patients. Good condition hoodies, athletic pants, and tennis shoes are needed for both men and women. Those bringing items to donate will be entered into a raffle drawing.
