FIT is excited to offer guaranteed entry to the 2025 Safaricom Marathon. This is your chance to run in the heart of the marathon world, Kenya! The experience is a perfect trio of travel, charity and epic running! Held in a Kenyan game park, the Safaricom Marathon is the largest annual fundraising event for London based charity, Tusk.
