About the Serengeti Safari Marathon

The Tanzanian race returned to the calendar after its 2025 cancellation and offers a full marathon with shorter companion distances. The park setting is central to the experience and requires organizer-led logistics.

Course

The route is presented as a 42 km run through the Serengeti environment rather than a certified road qualifier. Natural surfaces, exposure and event controls should guide expectations more than conventional city-marathon pace.

Race-day weather

November in the Serengeti can be warm, sunny and punctuated by short rains. Heat and exposed terrain increase hydration needs, while storms may alter footing quickly.
