Press Statement
Nairobi, 26th June 2024
The lead sponsors for the Lewa Safari Marathon, The Lewa Conservancy and Tusk Trust – the organisers of the annual Lewa Safari Marathon, regret to announce the cancellation of this year’s event, originally scheduled for 29th June 2024.
This decision has been made in light of the current situation in the country. We respect the democratic processes taking place and wish to be sensitive to the matter at hand, thus we have decided to cancel the event to next year.
The Lewa Safari Marathon is a much-anticipated annual event that brings together athletes and conservation enthusiasts from around the world to support wildlife conservation and community development initiatives across Kenya. We understand the disappointment this news may cause to participants, partners, and supporters who have been looking forward to this unique event.
We are committed to ensuring that the Lewa Safari Marathon returns stronger and better next year. The new dates for the marathon will be announced in due course, and all registrations will be carried forward to the rescheduled event.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our partners, sponsors, and participants for their understanding and continued support. We remain dedicated to our mission of conserving wildlife and supporting local communities, and we look forward to hosting you at the Safari Lewa Marathon in 2025.
