Mount Kilimanjaro International Marathon
29/06/2008 - 29/06/2008
Place of event: Kilimanjaro
The Mt Kilimanjaro Marathon takes place on the last Sunday in June every year at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro, in the little town of Moshi, Tanzania. The marathon is a 10.5 loop where the runners run the same course 4 times. In Africa it is very difficult to find well-paved roads - and also roads that are not difficult to run because of the hills. Therefore, the Mt Kilimanjaro Marathon is a loop.
On the course are ten highly decorated water stations manned by the local seminaries. They stay on the course for over 6 hours for the slow runners to complete the race. The oldest runner to run this course and climb the mountain is 75 years of age. Don't let age stop your adventure. Keep on visiting this site for next year's marathon and be part of it.
