Situated south of the equator – in Tanzania – at 5 895 metres, Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain, and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. “Kili” as she is affectionately known, is one of those iconic sights every person should see at least once in their lifetime.
Every year, since 2003, at the end of February/ March, a standard 42.2 km marathon, 21.1 km half marathon and 5 km fun run are held in the town of Moshi, in the shadow of Kilimanjaro
This AIMS registered race, measured to World Athletics specifications, has been set up to promote the sport in Tanzania, and has the official backing of the Tanzania Tourist Board, the Tanzania Amateur Athletics Association and World Athletics.
The atmosphere in Moshi over ‘race weekend’ is electric. Moshi is jam-packed with people who have trained up for their favourite race distance – motivated to come and ‘strut their stuff’. There is so much energy throughout the town of Moshi – with people coming from around the world to enjoy this unique event.
