Beginning on 26th April 2023, the Sierra Leone Marathon is a five-day adventure which will take you off the beaten track, all whilst showing you the beauty Sierra Leone has to offer. Winding through tropical jungle and local villages, the marathon route will take you through some of the most beautiful scenery in Northern Sierra Leone. From a full and half marathon to a 10K or 5K option, there is something for all running abilities. Regardless of the distance you run, each race will provide you with a unique perspective on this beautiful country, all whilst challenging your body and mind.
This trip is much more than just a marathon. You will have the opportunity to explore Northern Sierra Leone with like-minded individuals, attending workshops and discovering more about Street Child’s work. Your epic racing adventure will begin at dawn, finishing back at Wusum stadium in Makeni to a hand-carved medal and a cold beer or fresh coconut! After a well-deserved rest that evening you then have the option to take a triumphant flight home or continue your journey to one of Sierra Leone’s tropical beaches. Here you can spend time relaxing or take the opportunity to get to know your fellow runners from around the world. However you design your trip, one thing is for certain: the Sierra Leone Marathon will provide the adventure you are looking for
