Kilimanjaro Trail Run is a weekend of trail races on Africa’s highest mountain, and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Four event distances are offered: Ultra 74km, Ultra 67km, Full Marathon and Half Marathon. All events take place primarily inside Kilimanjaro National Park, on the mountain. The 74km ultra marathon climbs to a high elevation at Kilimanjaro’s Moir Camp (4170m / 13680ft), while the other three races top out at Kilimanjaro’s Cathedral Point (3850m / 12600ft). 

Kilimanjaro Trail Run is organized by Red Knot Racing Co.
