KATHMANDU, November 3, 2025

Grande International Hospital has renewed its partnership as the Official Medical Partner for the 17th Kathmandu Marathon 2025, reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding the health and well-being of thousands of runners participating in the event scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2025.

As one of Nepal’s leading healthcare institutions, Grande will provide comprehensive medical coverage throughout the marathon, ensuring emergency preparedness across all race categories — the full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K.

Expert Medical Support and Experience

Having served in the same role in previous editions, Grande brings valuable experience in handling the medical challenges of large-scale endurance events. The hospital will deploy a specialized team comprising emergency physicians, orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and critical care experts.

Medical stations will be strategically located at the start/finish area and along key points of the route, offering on-site emergency care, first aid, and rapid medical response for participants.

Commitment to Community and Preventive Health

Grande International Hospital emphasized that its involvement goes beyond emergency care — it reflects a broader commitment to community wellness, preventive healthcare, and social responsibility.

“The Kathmandu Marathon is not just a sporting event; it’s a celebration of health, discipline, and community spirit,” said hospital officials, adding that Grande aims to contribute to a healthier, more active society through such initiatives.

Leveraging Technology for Safer Events

Highlighting the role of innovation in modern healthcare, the hospital will utilize real-time communication systems, mobile medical equipment, and advanced data sharing tools to coordinate field response with its Critical Care Medicine Unit at its Dhapasi facility.

This integration of medical expertise and technology ensures that every runner — local or international — competes with confidence, backed by Nepal’s most advanced medical infrastructure.

By serving once again as the Grande Hospital Marathon Medical Partner, the institution continues to demonstrate how world-class healthcare and community engagement can go hand in hand in building a healthier nation.
