...gone to promoting Khovsgol as an ecotourism site. The sport has also rubbed off on the locals. Mongolia doesn't have a tradition of marathoning - in the Khans' time, if a Mongolian had to run more than a hundred paces, he jumped on a horse. But nowadays, Mongolians regularly enter - and win - the race.
