Welcome to the first-ever USIU-Africa Half Marathon!

This is more than just a race—it is a celebration of fitness, community, and education. This initiative is from students, built by students, for students, and is driven by our commitment to creating opportunities and making a lasting impact. With a target of 7,500 runners, we are thrilled to bring together participants from all walks of life to take part in an event that goes beyond running. Whether you're an elite athlete, a corporate team, a group of friends, or a family looking for a fun day out, there is a race for you. Our categories include the 21KM Half Marathon, 10KM Race, CEO Challenge, Corporate Challenge, and the 5KM Fun Run - ensuring that everyone has a place in this exciting experience.

Participants will not only challenge themselves on the racecourse but will also experience the vibrant USIU-Africa community, engage with diverse cultures, and learn about the university’s programs and initiatives. This event provides an opportunity for families to enjoy a day out with their children, for friends to come together in the spirit of health and wellness, for alumni to reconnect with their alma mater, and for participants to learn more about USIU-Africa and engage with the university community.

To make this an unforgettable experience, we are curating an event that is lively, engaging, and fun for all. Expect entertainment, music, exciting activities, and an electric atmosphere from start to finish. Our partners and sponsors are coming together to bring unique experiences, ensuring that both runners and spectators have something to look forward to throughout the day. Whether you're here to push your limits, enjoy a fun run, or simply soak in the vibrant energy of the event, we promise to deliver an experience like no other.

At USIU-Africa, we believe in excellence, inclusion, and impact, and this half-marathon embodies all three. We are committed to ensuring that every participant has the best possible experience, that every runner feels supported, and that every step taken contributes to a greater cause - supporting students through scholarships and financial aid. We invite you to be part of history, challenge yourself, connect with the community, and make a difference.

See you at the starting line!
