Kilimanjaro, 28 February, Moshi, Tanzania
Now in its thirteenth year, the Kilimanjaro Marathon is run in the shadow of the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. The race passes through smallholdings, villages, banana and coffee plantations and patches of forest. And if you’re concerned about running at altitude, don’t be. The gradient gain is apparently “quite manageable”. Having raced below the mountain, why not extend your stay and climb it? For more information, turn to page 94. Races Full marathon, half marathon, 10km wheelchair and 5km fun run
