Kilimanjaro International Marathon 2025

Thank you for choosing to “Run for Good”

As the official charity partner of the Kilimanjaro Marathon, we are excited to announce the upcoming 2025 event! Since our partnership began in 2022, the incredible efforts of our dedicated runners and generous donors helped raise an impressive $31,500 for Tumaini la Maisha (TLM). In a show of ongoing support, these funds were directed to our valued regional partner, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, to strengthen their Children’s Cancer Service.

KCMC has emerged as one of the most active and successful partners within the National Children’s Cancer Network (NCCN), providing free treatment to over 100 children annually. TLM plays a crucial role in empowering KCMC by supplying vital resources such as chemotherapy, supportive care medications, specialist consumables (including bone marrow needles and filters), and ensuring rapid leukemia diagnostics through collaborations with Muhimbili National Hospital and Children’s Health Ireland. Additionally, TLM offers transportation for children requiring referral to Dar es Salaam for sub-specialist treatment, along with nutritional assistance and stipends for junior doctors—at no cost to the families.

As we strive to expand these services with our remarkable partners, all proceeds from the 2025 Kilimanjaro Marathon will continue to support TLM’s essential activities at KCMC. The Kilimanjaro Marathon organizers will generously donate 5% of every official entry fee, and participants will also have the option to add a donation at registration.

We encourage you to register for the full Kili Marathon, Half Marathon or 5km fun run AND please consider adding a donation to TLM at registration, no matter how small, to save a child’s life with your entry fee.

And so we urge you to support TLM’s activities in order to strengthen paediatric cancer services in Tanzania most specifically in the Moshi, Kilimanjaro region.
Good luck everyone – and see you saving lives on the mountain!
