International Marathon Zanzibar South-East Coast

Welcome to the African Marathon Challenge. Zanzibar is a a great spot to run. The Int’l Marathon Zanzibar South-East Coast will run on the white beaches of coral sand and rocks between Bwejuu and Makunduchi on the south east coast of Unguja. Unguja is the main island of the Zanzibar archipelago. The way back to Bwejuu will follow paved and unpaved roads. We will cross an intresting archaeological site (a cave in the coral reef limestone) and the villages of Jambiani and Paje before finishing in the tropical garden of Mustaphas Place in Bwejuu.

The African Marathon Challenge series of charity marathons started in February 2017. We ran the tropical marathons and beautiful trails in Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Ghana.

In September, we will run 2 International Marathons on Zanzibar. Thus the former West African Marathon Challenge is extended by Tansania.

In February, we will again run the cradle of Yoruba: The Ile-Ife Marathon in Nigeria. From Lagos we will travel to Banjul where the first 2 International Marathons of The Gambia will take place. In the desert of the island Sal (Cape Verde Islands) another marathon will follow.

At the end of February, we will meet in Togo again: In Aného close to the border of Benin the Marathon des Royaumes will be started. In the beginning of march we will run the Mon Devoir School Marathon in Lomé together with 250 children. Last but not least we will enjoy the Trail-Marathon du Papillons. Starting in Kpalimé we will cross the Atacora mountain chain.
