Organiser's Description
This is Kenya, a land of incredible natural beauty with a wealth of rare and unique wildlife. In the shadow of Mount Kenya, sun-baked grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see. You’re standing on a rocky outcrop looking out over endless plains, a single trail winds through scrub land and around waterholes before narrowing to nothing where it meets the horizon. The land below is dotted with elephants, rhino, impala, zebra, giraffe and more. Soon you’ll make your way through terrain which varies from savanna to near montane forest, sharing your safari with these beautiful and unique animals.
In this beautiful place, a war is being fought. A war between armed and organised poaching cartels, and the Rangers who stand in the way of a massacre. The Rangers are the thin wall separating Africa’s last remaining Elephants and Rhinos from a multibillion-dollar trade in wildlife goods. We bring you an opportunity to join the fight by taking on a 230km life changing challenge in the home of long distance running.
