Join us for the Magnificent World Famous LEWA Marathon
Marathon Date: Saturday, June 30th, 2018
Tusk’s Safaricom LEWA Marathon and Half Marathon allow participants from all over the globe to compete in an internationally acclaimed event whilst running through one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildlife conservancies.
Run for a Reason
Across Africa, approximately 70 elephants are killed every day. Illegal poaching claims the life of one rhino every 10 hours. At this rate, these iconic species will be gone from the wild within your lifetime.
Join the 1,400 runners who take part in the Safaricom Marathon every year. Your part in this event will raise critical funds for conservation, community development and education programs that are providing hope for the future of Africa’s wildlife.
Distances:
There are three race categories;
- The Full Marathon
- Half Marathon
- Children’s 5km Race
The course is set on dirt roads that take the runners on a 13 mile route through the conservancy across Savannah plains, along river banks and through acacia woodland.
Half Marathon runners complete one loop of the course, Full Marathon runners, two.
Age Limits:
- You must be 18 or older to enter the Full or Half Marathon.
- There are two age categories for the Children’s 5 km Race – 10 to 13 years and 14 to 17 years
Prizes:
Upon completion of the race, each runner is presented with a medal and goody bag.
Prizes for race and age group categories, and corporate fundraising, are awarded at a prize giving ceremony at 12.30 pm
