Coast to Crest is unique on its own: the first such race starts off the Bay of Bengal, on Digha sea beach, and end in the mighty Himalayas. Nowhere in the world, a racer will find a route more challenging than this to face the gruelling last 100 and odd km in the world's highest mountain range Himalayan foothills, valley and finally reach the end point at about 2,300 metres or 7,400 feet.
