Kilimanjaro Half Marathon

The Kilimanjaro Half Marathon unfolds in the shadow of Africa's highest peak. Runners navigate the outskirts of Moshi, Tanzania, with the snow-capped mountain providing a majestic backdrop against the equatorial landscape. March's warm but not oppressive conditions challenge participants as the route winds through banana plantations, coffee farms, and local villages. The moderate elevation provides natural training for altitude adaptation while the gently rolling course offers both challenges and recovery. Local Chagga tribespeople provide enthusiastic support with traditional drumming and dancing. This race captures East Africa's natural grandeur and cultural warmth, offering serious runners a taste of the region's legendary running heritage while connecting participants with Tanzania's rich landscape and vibrant communities.
