The fourth edition of the Snow Marathon, Lahaul, the world's highest snow marathon, is set to take place on March 23 at Sissu in Lahaul. Held at an altitude of 11,000 feet, this unique event challenges long-distance and ultra-runners in extreme conditions. Over 300 participants from across the country will participate in the year's marathon in four categories - 42 km (full marathon), 21 km (half marathon), 10 km, and 5 km. As per the event's spokesperson, the event has seen strong participation from the Indian Army and Navy in previous editions. This year, the Indian Air Force Adventure Team with 20 runners is taking this challenge.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
