The Kilimanjaro Stage Run is an 8 day, 160 mile Stage Run around the highest mountain in Africa. The Kilimanjaro Stage Run is a unique destination running experience, named by National Geographic as “an adventure trip that gives back.” Join us on the second annual, eight day stage run around majestic Mount Kilimanjaro October 19-29, 2013.

The Kilimanjaro Stage run is led by Simon Mtuy, Tanzania’s foremost trail runner and world-record holder. Join Simon on a run around Mount Kilimanjaro on dirt trails and footpaths that have been used by locals for thousands of years while remaining off the tourist grid.

Run through lush rain forests, past waterfalls and wildlife and experience breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro at every turn. Immerse yourself in the culture of Tanzania, chat with the local people you meet on the trail and participate in reforestation efforts by planting trees outside of the villages where you camp for the night.
