Michael Price, product and marketing director at INOV8, said: "We've all felt the natural high that sport gives us – it's such a positive, natural drug. "Let's come together as one global community and take on this uplifting challenge. "Everest stands at 8,848 metres. "Can we climb its height every day for two weeks and amass over 100,000 metres? "It's a big ask, let's aim high." Participants are invited to log as much ascent as possible through running or hiking during the challenge period.

Everyone who signs up will be entered into a prize draw for a trip to Nepal, including entry to the 2026 Everest Marathon. The Everest Marathon, first held in 2003, is the world's highest marathon. It starts at Everest Base Camp, 5,364 metres above sea level, and covers 26.2 miles of rugged, high-altitude terrain. The event attracts runners from more than 20 countries and is held annually on May 29 to mark the anniversary of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary's historic 1953 ascent of Everest.

"We've been taking people on adventures to Nepal and all over the world for 40 years and recently launched a selection of trail running holidays.
