2026 KILIMANJARO MARATHON TRIP – NEW MONTH!
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.

“Wow. It couldn’t have been better. We knew from the outset that we had picked the right tour company and it was made even more evident as we met other travelers and heard about their itineraries and accommodations. Every single detail was taken care of. All we had to do was live it. 🙂 We were fully informed on the logistics and details before we left and that made it so easy to know how to tip and what to pack, for example. It’s a big adventure, and somewhat daunting to plan for, but A2T took the guesswork out of it.”
