Ladakh has created a Guinness World record by successfully conducting the world's highest frozen lake half-marathon.

The Union territory hosted its maiden 21-km trail running event in sub-zero temperatures at 13,862 feet high Pangong Tso.

The four-hour-long marathon started from Lukung and ended at Maan village with no injury reported to any of the 75 participants.

The event was named the 'Last Run' to remind the people about climate change and the need to save the Himalayas.
