Nepal Runner

For years Nepali child soldier turned ultra-runner Mira Rai trained alone every morning, but now she leads other young women up and down the hills, hoping the sport can help them break cycles of poverty and discrimination.

Dozens of runners donned snow goggles and braved icy temperatures to participate in the world's highest marathon in the foothills of Mount Everest today, five months after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake devastated Nepal.

Indian-origin Dakshnia Agrawal has won the 'Miss Marwadi Nepal 2014' title during the second edition of the pageant in Kathmandu.
