At least 7,000 runners have so far confirmed their participation in the much-anticipated 24th edition of the Kilimanjaro Premium Lager International Marathon, which is scheduled to take place in Moshi on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
Organisers said preparations for the event were progressing smoothly.
“Everything is moving as planned,” the organisers said.
They added that this year’s event is expected to attract about 13,000 runners from more than 60 countries, bringing significant economic benefits to Moshi Municipality and the surrounding areas.
Winners of the 42km full marathon in both the men’s and women’s categories will receive cash prizes, with the overall winners taking home Sh5.5 million each. Additional incentives have also been set aside for veterans, masters and the top Tanzanian finisher.
Kilimanjaro Premium Lager is the main sponsor of the 42km full marathon, while YAS sponsors the 21km half marathon and CRDB Bank backs the 5km fun run. Other sponsors, partners and suppliers are also supporting the event.
Organisers have urged runners to register early, warning that entries are limited and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
The race will be held at Moshi Co-operative University (MoCU) and is organised by Kilimanjaro Marathon Company Limited, with Wild Frontiers Events handling international marketing and inbound travel.
