About the event

Welcome to the Second edition of the Broken Hillman Ultra Trail Marathon in the beautiful mining town of Kabwe. The Fig Tree Café opened its doors in 2008 and since then has become a place for the community to come together, meet new people, and connect with each other in a clean, Christian environment. To continue with this vision, the Café has hosted many events including ladies' lunches, quiz nights, markets, running events, charity events, sponsored the daily breakfast show on power FM for one year, and other sponsored events. The Run will start at 5:00 AM at the Fig Tree Café on the Great North Road and go eastwards. The 25Km and 50Km tracks have inclines, declines, sand, rough and smooth terrain, with water points every 5km. The 25km and 50km runners will start in the same place and split off after a few kilometers. They will join again at the end to finish along the same track. There will be water points and Marshals throughout the trail.The Fig Tree Café is thrilled to host the Broken Hillman Ultra Trail Marathon and show the rest of Zambia and the world the pride we have for our town. The champions will be rewarded wonderful prizes. In accordance with the Presidential and Ministry of Health directive, the event will be held in accordance with the C19 rules.

It was a well organized run with a great medal and goodie bag.I cant wait to attend the next one it was a very challenging but fun run .

It had different terrains which made it challenging but truly worth the run .

I enjoyed the run, it was not crowded, the medal is beautiful. It was well organised as well. However, I would like the organising team to take note of the following:1. Race packs need to be consistent, all runners should get the same thing to avoid confusion. 2. Start time should be earlier for runners running longer distances as it got really hot. 3. Towards the end of the race, say after 20K support should be closer than 5K given that its hot, I would suggest after every 3K otherwise, organisers can arrange for bicycles with water for those that may not be able to wait long. I would also like to recommend 10K or 15K run included next year. Further, I would recommend that the organisers be consistent with communication. Registration said 22K flyer I think 25K and your site said that 22K will turn back at 11K and the route didn't require for this. If ANY changes occur along the way, please communicate to runners in good time as running is a mental game. Other wise great job and see you next year

The route was good, I enjoyed it. I was however curious about why it was named Mulila Nsofu.
