The Big Five Marathon in South Africa is held among the wildlife of the African savannah.
The Big Five Marathon takes you on an adventure through the South-Africa’s Savannah of Entabeni.
In one of the most spectacular game reserves in Africa the challenging route crosses right through the habitat of the African game, including the famous Big Five: Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard.
No fences, no rivers, nothing at all separates the runners from the African wildlife!
But It’s not only about the race. Our entry packages give you a chance to explore the many sides of South Africa; its rich culture, mouth-watering cuisine, and spectacular nature. We will take you to some of our favorite places, to be shared with fellow running-minded travelers, friends, and family.
The event features both a Marathon and a Half-Marathon distance.
