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 half marathon (21.1km / 13.1mi) is a loop run on Shira Plateau, on a combination of double and single track in the heather and moorland zone. The first 10 kilometers are via rescue road, and the second half of the race on progressively more technical trails. The race features 520 meters (1700 ft) of climbing, with a high elevation of 3850 meters (12600 ft) near Cathedral Point. This event begins and ends at Morem (3410m / 11190ft) on Shira plateau; vehicle transport is provided for participants to the race start and from the finish line back to the race village. The KTR Half is a great entry race into high altitude running, or a superb way to hike fully supported for a day on Kili. We welcome hikers in the half marathon.
