Kilimanjaro Trail Run is a weekend of 6 trail running events on the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. The terrain is as unforgiving as the scenery is spectacular! We have a race for every runner in your group! Event distances on offer are 10 kilometers, half marathon, full marathon, and 3 x ultra mara
Our 65 kilometer ultra is a shorter version of the KTR Ultra 75. It’s a loop race from Simba Farm (1760m / 5770ft) to Kilimanjaro’s Cathedral Point (3850m / 12600ft) and return. Runners climb the Lemosho trekking route and descend via Shira rescue road, passing farmland, rain forest, and heather / moorland zones. Total climbing is 2565m (8415 ft). The cutoff for the KTR Ultra 65 is the same 13.5 hours allotted for the 75, which does still require some real work. This event is not to be taken lightly, as the combination of climbing, high altitude and unpredictable weather can be difficult.
