The Race

Kigali
Established in 2011, the Kigali Marathon is now 15 years old. From its first edition in Kigali, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Rwanda.
With 780m of elevation gain, the Kigali Marathon is not a course for the faint-hearted. The climbs are where races are won and lost — where the gap between training and undertrained reveals itself without mercy. Locals say the course doesn't beat you; it just waits for you to beat yourself.
