The route takes you from the start at the post office opposite Kingdom Hotel, towards the old bridge between Zimbabwe and Zambia, offering runners spectacular views of the Victoria Falls. Turn around just before the Zambia border post before crossing the bridge again and heading up Zambezi Drive parallel to the Zambezi River. Once past the massive baobab tree you turn onto the road leading up to the Zambezi National Park. Run a shady loop into the park where you may see some game. We have game rangers deployed along the route for safety. Continue to Victoria Falls town and residential area. Enjoy the festive atmosphere and enthusiasm from the water stations before finishing at the school on the Kazangula Road.

Developed in conjunction with the National Athletics Association of Zimbabwe, the Victoria Falls Marathon race is an AIMS (Association of International Marathon and Distance Races) registered event. The marathon race provides a platform for both local and international runners to pit themselves against the best! The route is well supported by regular water points and cooling down sections, all ably managed by the sponsors. All athletes are advised to spend the night before the race in the town of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe (NOT the Zambia side of the falls) as the border post will be closed early morning on the day of the race.

Start times:
All runs start on the main road close to Ilala Lodge and Kingdom Hotel, and finish at the school. This may change, please check on registration. Follow the markings directing each race.

• 42.2km marathon @ 06h45 am
