With numbers of Nepali youths going to different countries for foreign employment, Narayan Shrestha was no exception. Shrestha, an international marathon runner, explains how people with skills usually resort to foreign employment as they get a decent job and earn a good living.


As a Nepali runner who has been working in Kuwait, Shrestha has participated in various races and has established himself as one of the best runners by winning many international races. When he is not on the trail running, he works as a physical fitness instructor at the American University in Kuwait.

He has won the American University Middle East race thrice, covering the 2.4 km race distance in 9 minutes and 38 seconds in 2022.


Along with the title, he received a cash prize of 2 lakh. Runners from India, Lebanon, Egypt, Nigeria, Cuba, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia and Europe also participated.

He started running in his childhood, participating in district level as well as Presidential Shield competitions in Nepal.



Shrestha left for Kuwait five years ago and had trained with foreign trainers in his spare time. He says training with a foreign coach for 14 months has helped him as a runner.

Shrestha comes to Nepal during the holidays and participates in various races. He has been helping other Nepali players time and again. Talking with NepalNews, Shrestha talks about doing his best to help other Nepali players with proper training.
