2024 Kilimanjaro Marathon

Every year, since 2003, at the end of February/beginning 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. 2022 was our ‘20th Anniversary’ of this event. In 2024 we plan to have an even more exciting weekend lined up with our incredible sponsors by our side.  This AIMS registered race 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.  There are plenty of places to explore – and lots of restaurants and pubs offering a full range of foods – from local fare to fantastic Indian, Italian and English menus.  Lively pubs – and typically our sponsors lining up some incredible live music and parties around the event. There are a good number of hotels in the area, but book early as they get filled up over race weekend.
