Qasim Naz — the founder of and the driving force behind the Margalla Hills Half Marathon — shared how the idea began as a dream back in 2018. Today, it has become the pioneering event that started the trail running movement in Pakistan.

The 3rd edition brought together over 250 passionate runners from across the country, including members of the diplomatic community and an inspiring number of female participants. Even ambassadors joined the challenge and crossed the finish line with pride.

The Margalla Hills Half Marathon, organized by , also introduced live RFID timing for the first time ever in trail running in Pakistan, making each finish even more exciting as runners watched their results come in live.

The course spanned the rugged beauty of Trails 2, 3, 4, and 5, along with sections of Margalla Road and Pir Sohawa Road — all under the intense heat that felt like 41°C. Still, the spirit of the trail community never wavered.

Qasim hinted at what’s next: a full-distance Margalla Hills Trail Marathon in the near future.

Until next April — keep running, keep exploring, and keep the trail spirit alive!
