Join TRAVERSE Run 2026
TRAVERSE RUN offers five stages of varied terrain, amazing scenery, and wildlife viewing. The course is raceable by the experienced, challenging to adventurers, and rewarding for all. The event takes place on fast single track, slow and technical single track, and double track safari roads.
Although our time cutoffs are lenient enough for most participants to finish, you should be aware that north Tanzania’s geography, flora and fauna — while spectacular to witness — are also formidable obstacles with which to contend. Runners will encounter challenging terrain, high elevations, thorns, wildlife and more thorns.
Though our food is both delicious and plenty, and the overall experience amazing, TRAVERSE is not a local Thanksgiving Trot. This is a VERY difficult event.
