Amazing Maasai Marathon

Cross Africa off your seven continents list by running one of Africa’s most exotic trail routes through a Maasai community in the remote village of Kimanjo. Feel good knowing that the purpose of the race is not only to participate in a sport you love, but also raise awareness and funds to send Maasai girls to secondary school. Proceeds from your race entry fee go directly to the Amazing Girls Project (AGP).

The Amazing Maasai Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 10K is a unique running event in the mountains of Maasai land in Laikipia. The Maasai 42k & 21km races are held near the small Maasai town of Kimanjo, Laikipia – about 70km from Nanyuki (GPS Coordinates: 0′,31’1.37″N, 37’1’1.08E). It is a remote area in the foothills of Mt Kenya, well off the beaten track. The journey out from Nanyuki takes close to three (3) hours on unmarked roads. The course is quite hilly and is on dirt roads, paths, and trails. It’s a great off-road race for the adventure traveler!

Your experience is not only the race though. You will have an amazing adventure and educational journey as you travel from Nairobi, Kenya to the Aberdare National Park and the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, known as the densest concentration of game anywhere in Kenya. You will explore the vast and varied landscapes of Kenya on your game drives, bush walks, and runs with local Kenyans! We encourage you to add the three night extension to your package to witness the ‘Great Migration’ in the Mara.

This tour is recommended to those who are adventurous! Although an ‘amazing’ experience, it is more rugged due to the long bumpy roads and the rustic accommodations at the race tented camp site.
