The Kilimanjaro Marathon is a standout event in East Africa’s running calendar, held annually in Moshi, Tanzania, under the watchful gaze of Africa’s highest peak. Featuring a full marathon, half marathon, and a 5 km fun run, the race draws thousands of participants from across the globe. The 42.2 km course unfolds on gently undulating tarred roads, between 830–1,150 meters above sea level, making it a scenic but accessible challenge. Runners are treated to steady crowd support, regular aid stations, and a striking view of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro—weather permitting. Endorsed by the Tanzania Tourist Board and registered with AIMS, it’s a professionally organized event with international standards.
