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
With 2550m (8360ft) of climbing, our full marathon (42.2+km / 26.2+mi) is one of the most difficult marathons in the world. Runners climb via Kilimanjaro’s Lemosho trekking route from Simba Farm (1760m / 5770ft) to Cathedral Point (3850m / 12600ft) on Shira Plateau, prior to descending to the finish line at Morem (3410m / 11190ft). The course passes through multiple climate and vegetation zones — farmland, rain forest, and heather / moorland. Total descent on the day is 870m (2860ft). This event ends at Morem on Kilimanjaro; vehicle transport is provided from the finish line back to the race village.
