Course & Elevation
The Marathon International de Tana (MIT), also known as the Antananarivo Marathon, is the road marathon of Madagascar's capital, with start and finish on the town hall forecourt in Analakely. It is organised by the World Trade Center Antananarivo with the Malagasy Athletics Federation, which handles the technical side, and the commune of Antananarivo is the host. The programme has the 42.195 km marathon, the 10 km Foulée Écolo and a 2 km children's race called the Maratoons, and the organisers stress an environmental and solidarity theme. The race has been held between October and early December: the 17th edition was run in early December 2017, the 19th in November 2019, and the 20th was scheduled for 19 October 2025 and then for 10-11 October 2026. The 2018 edition was cancelled, and the marathon returned in 2019 on a new course. In September 2026 the organising committee postponed the 20th edition to allow better preparation and said that a new date would be announced once it is confirmed. No marathon has been held in the capital since 2019.
