The biggest sporting event in Sierra Leone is BACK!
Voted ‘Best International Event’ at the Running Awards 2017, The Sierra Leone Marathon returns to the streets of Makeni for the 8th edition on 26th May 2019.
It's the biggest and most celebrated sporting event in Sierra Leone, uniting both local and international runners. People from all over the world sign up to be a part of this event, with all participants helping to raise funds in support of Street Child projects whilst getting the opportunity to meet the children they are fundraising to support.
With the local communities supporting you every step of the way, you’ll get to experience the genuine passion Sierra Leoneans have for the marathon and will receive overwhelming support every step of the race!
THE RACE!
You have the choice to run 5K, 10K, half marathon and full marathon through some of the most picturesque landscapes in northern Sierra Leone. You can expect to run on both urban and rural roads - the majority of these are hard-packed mud roads, but also some tarmac.
