About the Event

Experience the ultimate "running safari" at the Kenya Wildlife Marathon on May 24, 2026. This is not just a race; it's a fully immersive African adventure where your marathon or half-marathon course winds through the exclusive Lukenya Sanctuary, teeming with zebras, wildebeests, and giraffes. As part of an all-inclusive 7-day package, your running challenge is seamlessly blended with unforgettable game drives in the Masai Mara, cultural visits, and the reliably beautiful weather of equatorial Kenya. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to push your limits in the world's most iconic running nation, surrounded by the very wildlife that embodies the spirit of the run.
