This year’s Bhutan International Marathon saw an incredible turnout, with around 255 participants, including 95 international runners from around 10 different countries who traveled from across the globe to be part of this extraordinary event. It was more than just a race—it was a celebration of endurance, mindfulness, and the spirit of pushing beyond limits.
For the 11th edition of the Bhutan International Marathon, we are deeply grateful and proudly presenting you one of our proud sponsors the Bhutan Insurance Limited (BIL) for their incredible support.
Bhutan Insurance Limited (BIL) is a leading insurer in Bhutan, offering a range of insurance products, including general, health, life, motor, and sports insurance. They provide financial security for individuals and businesses through comprehensive coverage for property, vehicles, medical needs, and corporate risk management. Committed to well-being and community development, BIL actively supports initiatives like the Bhutan International Marathon, aligning with their mission of “Providing Security, Building Confidence.”
A Shared Commitment to Health and Well-Being
Bhutan’s pristine beauty provides the perfect setting for a marathon that celebrates both physical endurance and mental resilience. As our runners make their way through the stunning trails, they embody the power of perseverance and mindful movement.
Mr. Damdi Dorji, CEO of Bhutan Insurance Limited, expressed the company’s pride in supporting such an impactful event: “More than just a race, it’s a reminder to live an active and fulfilling life, and BIL is proud to be part of this mission.” His words highlight how BIL’s core values of health, fitness, and mindfulness seamlessly align with the marathon’s purpose.
Adding to this, Mr. Sonam Tobgay, Director of Operations & IT at BIL, acknowledged the Bhutan Olympic Committee for their dedication to making this event a reality each year. “This marathon is not just about running—it’s about bringing people together through a shared love of fitness and adventure,” he said, recognizing the diverse group of runners from all walks of life, including international participants who travel great distances to be part of this inspiring journey.
Running a Marathon, Preparing for LifeFew people understand the significance of this event better than Mr. Tobgay Dorji, Head of Marketing & Research at BIL. As a past participant in the Bhutan International Marathon, he knows firsthand that running isn’t just about competing—it’s about personal growth, mental strength, and resilience.
“Every mile is a challenge, but the greatest victory is overcoming your own limits,” he shared.
And this philosophy extends beyond the race itself. Just as runners train, prepare, and push through obstacles, life, too, requires resilience and preparation. “That’s where insurance plays a crucial role—whether it’s Sports Insurance or other essential coverage, having the right protection gives us the security and confidence to move forward, no matter what challenges arise,” he explained.
Life, like a marathon, isn’t about racing others—it’s about being ready for what’s ahead. That’s why BIL remains committed to its mission: “Providing Security, Building Confidence; Your Insurer of Choice.”
