A Marangu ultra sweep is a hike that defines resilience and compresses the climb to 5895m of Mount Kilimanjaro through the Marangu Route from many days to a 24 hours of moving from Marangu Gate (1879m) to Uhuru Peak (5895m). Sounds hard?
Yes it is hard! However, it is very doable, and that could be you on 4th-7th February 2027.
We have led extreme hikes like this before and time has come we see you through a challenge up the highest mountain in Africa. You can interact with a carousel of this event’s description from this Instagram post. Due to the intensity of this hike and the demands it makes to get to Kibo Peak, it will involve 15 weeks of training to ensure you are adequately prepared to climb. The following are the requirements to participate;
- Done at least one Mount Kenya 12-hour day dash with us.
- Participate actively in 11 out of the 15 training weeks ( the training program and plan will be available here after registration closes on October 17, 2026).
- A super-high willingness to turn back (..if rocks start looking like wild animals or voices start calling you).
