Dar es Salaam. Hundreds of Dar es Salaam residents turned up at the Mlimani City Mall over the weekend to collect their race numbers for the much anticipated 20th edition of the Kilimanjaro Marathon 2022.
The organisers said the turnout had so far been impressive of the participants who heeded the call and went to collect their numbers on time to avoid last minute rush.
Most of those who collected were participants of the Kilimanjaro Premium Lager 42 Km and the Tigo 21Km Half Marathon while others also took the Grand Malt 5km and also registered.
“Registration for 42km and 21km is already closed but we are still selling for the 5km Fun Run,” said the organisers.

“It was a well organised exercise as participants streamed in and left within a short time.”

The numbers will be issued at the Kibo Palace Hotel in Arusha on Tuesday February 22, 2022 and Wednesday February 23, 2022 from 2pm to 7pm on both days.
