Next week’s run
Some of us have been training for months, whilst for some it’s a spur of the moment decision, to ferry themselves down to Moshi for the 2020 Kilimanjaro Marathon. Either way, more than 100 Swaras will be taking part in this iconic marathon which enjoys breathtaking views of Africa’s tallest mountain. There’s a 5km, a 21km and a 42km (only registration for the 5km is still open). For those coming to Moshi, full details are below please do read all of it carefully.
For those not coming to Moshi, there’s still a run for you in Nairobi!
Date: Saturday 29th February 7am
Venue: Karura Forest, Limuru Road car park
Distance: There will be no Swara marks, we will be using the signposted routes. The Karura side has a 5, 10 and 15km route, and the Sigiria side (cross Limuru Road, and 50m up on your left is a gate to this side) there is a 5km and 10km, so you can play around and get all sorts of different combinations, from 5 to 45km!
Run type: 100% forest!
Breakfast: Can be taken at your leisure at either River Cafe, within the forest, or at Java House, up the road.
