We Stand by People Through Our Actions.
Konstantinos Tzias is not an athlete we “chose.” He is a man who, when he found himself in Nepal the day after the devastating 2015 earthquake, did not walk away—he sprang into action. He gathered aid. He stood where he was needed. He grew up with a dream under circumstances that did not favor it, and today, at 40, he proves that limits are not determined by age. This is a story that speaks to us: human, authentic, without exaggeration.
In practice, we are covering the entirety of his participation—from registration and transportation to accommodation and equipment. At the same time, we are opening this initiative to anyone who wants to make a meaningful contribution, supporting the humanitarian work of the Rotary Foundation. Every contribution goes directly there, with no intermediary role on our part.
How to Turn Intent into Impact
Every donation goes where it’s truly needed.
If you feel this cause is worth supporting, we invite you to make a donation to The Rotary Foundation—through the official website raise.rotary.org. There is no minimum amount, and there is no pressure. There is simply an opportunity to do something good at a time that matters.
The funds support Rotary International’s humanitarian programs—access to clean water, healthcare, and education in communities in need. The Rotary Foundation has been rated 4 out of 4 stars by Charity Navigator for years, recognized as one of the most transparent humanitarian organizations in the world.
100% of donations go directly to the Rotary Foundation’s humanitarian programs. We do not charge any administrative fees.

The Everest Marathon 2026 Route
Starting from Everest Base Camp, the Full Marathon, the Olympic Style – 42.195 KM ends at Namche Bazar. Each year hundreds of participants run the full category in Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon. Participants will camp at Everest Base Camp before the race day. The course of the Full Marathon is mostly downhill and is a trekking trail hence caution while running is a must. The trails of the 42.195 km Marathon descend through Gorakshep and head down towards Dingboche where runners will make a loop at Bibre. From there, the tracks will descend to Namche via Kyanjuma.
Responsible Entrepreneurship with Measurable Impact
A business with access to networks, knowledge, and resources has a duty to use them responsibly—creating real opportunities beyond itself. This doesn’t require complex mechanisms. It requires a clear decision and consistency in execution.
Our role is clear: we fully cover Konstantinos’s participation, ensuring that every euro of support goes directly to humanitarian actions—not to operational costs. We’re mobilizing a network of people who want to make a real difference. Because impact isn’t a story. It’s a result.
