Nepal’s Mankumar Magar Secures Second Place in Australia’s Buffalo Stampede Trail Race

Nepali ultra-runner Mankumar Magar achieved second place in the men’s U-23 category at the Buffalo Stampede 100-kilometer trail race held in Australia. Magar completed the race in 10 hours, 36 minutes, and 45 seconds, finishing just behind George Knight, who claimed first place with a time of 9 hours, 45 minutes, and 1 second.

Earlier in the Nepali month of Falgun, Mankumar secured first place in ‘The 9 Dragon Race,’ part of the Asia Trail Master Championship Finals 2026. He is increasingly recognized as a promising talent among Nepal’s ultra runners. In the same Australian race, Ben Lison finished third, completing the distance in 10 hours, 38 minutes, and 57 seconds.

The Buffalo Stampede Festival is regarded as one of Australia’s premier trail running events.
