"Start of Victoria Falls Marathon" |

Victoria Falls Marathon is a high profile international marathon and half marathon
taking place on
the 23rd August 2009. This event is said to be one of the most thrilling
races on the continent.
"Where else in
the world do you have elephants at the water-points, and game on the race route,
and the post-race party on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River?" said promoter
John Addison of Wild Frontiers.
AND if the race is not enough for you the options of white
water rafting, canoeing, bungee jumping, elephant back safaris, lion walks etc.
should certainly make the trip worth your while.

"We anticipate
this race to grow into a large 'must do' event in Africa, maybe even rivalling
some of the bigger SOUTH African events such Two Oceans etc. but a lot better
and more fun!" said Addision.
Themed "Come and Run in a New Zimbabwe", organisers plan to
use the event to raise money for schools in the Victoria Falls township of
Chinotimba. Past events have supported such causes as AIDS orphans in
Victoria Falls.
