India’s first frozen lake marathon is set to be held on February 20, with the Indian Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) tasked with executing a “proper action plan” for the event in Ladakh’s Pangong Tso.

The 21-kilometre marathon, with Lukung as its starting point, will end at Maan village. "Seventy-five selected athletes from India and abroad are participating in the run, allowing them to make a bid for a Guinness world record for the world's highest frozen-lake marathon", officials said
