‘Kilimanjaro Peak Ultra’

A brand new trail race coming to Africa’s mountain in October of 2025:

The Kilimanjaro Peak Ultra is a unique trailrunning race to the summit of the 5,895 m Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and back down. The KPU follows the Marangu route, the most popular and easiest route with about 68 km and 4,100 meter of elevation gain from Marangu Gate, one of the entry points to the nationalpark, up to Uhuru Peak and back down.

Put on by Plan B, the events management team behind Zugspitz Ultratrail and the TransRockies and TransAlpine Runs. Looks like a fantastic event and a fantastic way to get to experience this amazing mountain.
