TRAVEL
The 2024 ultra marathons and 10K take place on Saturday, 30th August: all ultra marathon racers should arrive at the KTR race village by mid-afternoon 29th August.
The half marathon takes place Sunday, 31st August; participants should arrive to the race village by mid-afternoon 30th August.
The nearest airport to the KTR race village is Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Participants should plan to arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport by mid-day the day before their event in order to be transported to the race village in time for packet pickup and race briefings. We suggest departure flights be scheduled no earlier than the morning after your event.
Participants joining our pre-race safari should arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) by 7:00 am on Wednesday, 27th August. Alternatively, we can sort accommodation and transport for 26th August or before.
