It is hard to believe that the first ultra-long distance race 23-year-old Mira Rai took part in was only earlier this year. But in just two months after that Rai had won three international trail races.
Rai participated in the 50km Himalayan Outdoor race in March in harsh weather wearing a cotton T-shirt, sports trousers and just a bottle of water. She was the only female Nepali runner, and was the first in her category to touch the ribbon. Recognising her talent, Trail Running Nepal provided her training and arranged her participation in international races.
