Get Ready to “Travel – Run – Give Back” in March!
After years of mounting the Kilimanjaro Marathon on the last Sunday of February, organizers have decided to move the event to March 22, 2026. The benefit of this shift is that the event no longer conflicts with the peak safari season and prices to combine your run with a wildlife safari adventure offer better value.
Picture yourself traveling to Tanzania for a unique and very fun Marathon (or Half Marathon or 5K) in the shadows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Before the run, enjoy 3 nights in Nyamuswa Village to participate in the Fourth Annual Chamriho 5k, a community fun run that raises funds locally to support school meals for students. Then, enjoy an amazing 5-day wildlife safari (through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park) enroute to Moshi where you will enjoy the weekend festivities of the Kilimanjaro Marathon.
During the village visit, you will tour a school and learn about the innovative ways that PZ is empowering local communities, teachers, and schools. Special for 2026, PZ is celebrating its 25 Year Anniversary, and the village will be buzzing with fun activities including a tour to learn about the history and culture of the area.

“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
