The Safari International Marathon was intended to encourage local Tanzanian and East African athletes to pursue their dreams in athletics. The project was devised to be ongoing and grow with our country to become most popular event amongst young, old athletes and all citizens. One of the dreams will be for a Sports Center to be built to improve the Tanzanian athletics standards. Accommodate the athletes while training for Olympic marathons and other International Marathon.
The future of Safari International Marathon is to eventually blossom into an international event based in Arusha. As running is a sport in which East Africans prevail, we would like to continue to support their training and progress with our Marathon and proposed Sports Center.
