Why Rwanda, and why this race
Rwanda is the land of a thousand hills, and once you've run them the name makes sense.

We base the week in Muganza, in the country's green, high southern province, a long way from the tourist trail, on site with the people we're there to work alongside. This isn't a race with a charity bolted on. It's a week built around a community project with the ASFA Physiotherapy Centre and MAD4Africa, and the marathon is the celebration at the end of it.

You live together, work together, eat together, and on the final day you run through the hills - your choice of 10k, 21k or 42k, or our new ultramarathon distance.

Rwanda is also one of the safest, most welcoming countries in Africa to travel in, and June sits in the dry season, which makes for good running and cool, clear evenings.

You fly into Kigali, travel south, and for one week the rest of the world goes quiet.It's run by Impact Marathon: 11 years, $2m+ driven into the communities we run through, and the founder on every start line. The finish line was never the point.
