KILIMANJARO MARATHON EXPERIENCE
KILIMANJARO MARATHON EXPERIENCE
In support of Tai Impact – Local Non Government Organization that advocates social change through the power of storytelling and digital technology.
ABOUT THE MARATHON
Every February, runners from all over the world gather at the base of Africa’s highest peak for the Kilimanjaro Marathon. The course winds through banana plantations and village roads, with views of snow-capped Kilimanjaro along the way. It’s more than a race, it is an experience.
RUN FOR A REASON
- 90% of the profits from this trip will go directly to Tai Impact.
- Your participation helps fund the Tai Academy program, created to improve access to education in rural Tanzania by:
- Providing digital tools and offline learning content to underserved schools
- Tackling overcrowded classrooms and lack of books
- Offering education scholarships for students from low-income families
Our 2026 goal:
- Award 60 scholarships
- Reach 30 rural schools with digital learning support
"When you run, you are not just chasing a finish line, you are helping young minds chase their future."
