Afrikeniyan Tours & Safaris - Information Guide
The Marathon is held annually to raise money for conservation within the Mara ecosystem as well as raise awareness on the plight of its stakeholders.
All proceeds from the marathon will go towards education, provision of clean water, healthcare, sanitation and conservation projects for communities living in the Mara ecosystem.
The Marathon's popularity has grown since its inception in the year 2009. From its humble beginnings with 352 participants, the number has been growing steadily over the years, and this year the Marathon has thousands of confirmed participants!
Going under different themes each year, the Marathon attracts participants from as far as Italy, Sweden, United States, among others.
The Masai Mara Marathon's attraction stems in part from the fact that runners cruise in the midst of wildlife such as wildebeet, gazelles and zebras unlike most marathons which are held in urban areas. A highly exciting and unique experience indeed! Definitely not to be missed.
This year's Marathon will take place on Saturday 5th October 2013 at the Lemek Conservancy, Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
This is a perfect opportunity for giving back to the community, and showing commitment to its development.
Please take note that bookings will close on the 21st of September, 2013.
Now is the time!
