ZARA TOURS TO HOST THE EIGHTH ANNUAL NGORONGORO MARATHON.

#‎Africa‬ — As a proud representative and supporter of a number of community development projects throughout ‪#‎Tanzania‬, ZARA Tours—currently the No. 1 ‪#‎Kilimanjaro‬ outfitter in Tanzania, and one of the largest ‪#‎safari‬ operators in the country—is excited to host the 8th Annual Ngorongoro Marathon, taking place 18th April 2015 in the ‪#‎NgorongoroConservationArea‬.
Tanzania,
As a unique, community-themed, multi-cultural event, this year’s ‪#‎NgorongoroMarathon‬ has been designed to offer a variety of entertainment packages, including, but not limited to: ‪#‎adventuresafaris‬ (pre & post marathon tour packages), open festivals, overnight carnivals, football matches, stage performances and a red carpet award ceremony. All events and celebrations (including pre-events) will take place over a five-day period in the heavily concentrated town of ‪#‎Karatu‬.
History:
In 2008, Ms. Leila Ansell and Mama Zainab Ansell—each CEO’s of ZARA Tanzania Adventures—came up with the idea to create a unique community outreach and development initiative under ‪#‎ZaraCharity‬ Tanzania, and the first ever Ngorongoro Marathon was born. Together, with various stakeholders, the race was positively accepted and promoted to its success. Up until its 7th season, the Ngorongoro Marathon took on promotional campaigns for Malaria, and was entitled, “The Race Against Malaria.”
Community Development and Support:
In addition to ‪#‎Malaria‬—which presents a visible prevalence setback of 8.7 to 0.4 to date—the Ngorongoro Marathon has positively impacted other important issues throughout Karatu and neighboring places and people, such as ‪#‎Maasaiwomen‬ and children empowerment. Furthermore, the Ngorongoro Marathon aims to:
➢ Promote art and culture by bringing together both locals and foreigners at a multicultural festival.
➢ Raise funds for charity works and other community interventions.
➢ Promote both local and international tourism in Tanzania.
➢ Create awareness for health and environmental conservation issues.
➢ Promote education.
The Ngorongoro Marathon is officially registered and recognized with international standards of ‪#‎athletic‬ ‪#‎associations‬, ‪#‎worldwide‬. For more information on the 8th Annual Ngorongoro Marathon, or to learn how to register, please visit the event’s WordPress page.
