The great Safaricom Lewa Marathon is happening again this Saturday, 29th June 2013 at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Northern Kenya. Come participate with competitors from all over the world and enjoy Africa’s most breath-taking scenery. Through the partnership of Safaricom Ltd, Tusk Trust and the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, the event has grown from 180 runners in 2000 raising $50,000 to 1000 runners in 2012 raising $574,000.
Since the inaugural marathon in 2000, US$3.8m has been raised for a wide range of projects. Through grants funded by the marathon, literally thousands of Kenyans have benefitted through schools, hospitals, as well as community and conservation projects.
Over the years, this unique event has captured the imagination of the running fraternity and secured the longstanding support of some of Kenya’s world class athletes, including Paul Tergat and Catherine Ndereba.
