The idea for this exciting new marathon is the brainchild of a group of committed business-minded sports enthusiasts whose major goal is to organize a sports centre intended to improve the running standard of Tanzanian Athletes and promote a huge international event that will bring tourists and media to watch some of the world's top runners compete in Tanzania. It will involve star athletes from East Africa who currently dominate the sport and include our most talented Tanzanian runners.

In order to achieve this, we are asking for your support to finance the formation of a special Marathon Committee that will work directly with proven experience people in promoting similar large sporting events. Although the Safari Marathon will be the primary focus, we will also offer some of Tanzania's outstanding and diverse safari attractions and activities as exciting backdrops for the marathon.
