Shompole Wildlife Marathon – Shompole, March 17
Participate in the Shompole Wildlife Marathon set for March 17
Definitely not one for beginners, this race takes runners on a tough, hot and dusty route through undulating terrain. But it’s country that most people rarely see. The 30 km route skirts Lake Magadi and takes runners up some punishing hills, rewarding them with views of Lake Natron on the Kenyan Tanzanian border. It’s just about worth the effort. www.shompolewildlifemarathon.com
