About the Lewa Safari Marathon
Lewa Safari Marathon is a long-running Kenyan race hosted by Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and organised by Tusk. Its appeal is the setting and difficulty: runners race inside a working conservancy rather than on closed city streets.
Course
The full marathon uses two loops of a 13-mile dirt-road route through savannah, river-bank, and acacia woodland terrain inside the conservancy. The surface, heat, and wildlife-safety logistics make it very different from a city marathon.
Race-day weather
Race day is usually dry and exposed, with cool early conditions giving way to stronger sun. The dirt roads and limited shade make hydration and steady effort more important than even pacing.
