On June 8, 2025, Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, will host the International Peace Marathon. It is a special race where runners from more than 20 countries come together to show friendship and unity.
There are three races: the full marathon starting at 7 a.m., the half marathon at 8:20 a.m., and a fun run called the Fun Run at 8:30 a.m. Runners must be strong because Kigali is a very high city—over 1,500 meters above sea level—and the air is thinner.
This race also helps charities in Rwanda with the money raised. Some roads will be closed during the marathon to keep everyone safe.
