About the event:
TRAVERSE RUN offers five stages of varied terrain, amazing scenery, and wildlife viewing. The course is raceable by the experienced, challenging to adventurers, and rewarding for all. The race takes place on fast single track, slow and technical single track, and double track safari roads.
Although our time cutoffs are lenient enough for most participants to finish, you should be aware that north Tanzania’s geography, flora and fauna — while spectacular to witness — are also formidable obstacles with which to contend. Runners will encounter challenging terrain, high elevations, thorns, wildlife and more thorns.
The course will consist of:
Total distance of approximately 250km (155mi)
5 stages of 45-80km (28-50mi) each
Total climbing of 4000+m (13000ft)
Extremely varied terrain, geography and temperatures
Some very technical terrain and a lot of thorns
A climb to 3450m (11300ft) elevation on Kilimanjaro’s Shira Plateau
The best finish line in sport (Lake Natron, pictured)
