About the event

Take on the challenge of conquering the Mount Agou of Togo - the highest peak at 986 meters! Here, you will not find snow, but instead, a world of untouched beauty. As part of the African Marathon Challenge, a series of charity events, our journey will begin with the AGERTO project, crossing the Kpalimé-Zongo market, down a dirt road and the base of Mt. Agou. From then on, the trails become narrower and the air fresher. Water from the mountain will refresh you while in the midst of a lush tropical forest. The villages are works of art, crafted over centuries. As guests, we will become part of the magic of the area, even if only for a short time. The marathon will end in Agou Nyogbo, a quiet village at the mountain's foot. When you finish, you will be proud and keep on smiling, knowing that this day will change your life! Come and join us for the "Running the Trails of Togo: A Weekend in Runners Paradise". For more details, interactive maps, and a description of our long-term charity projects, please visit www.marathon.africa.

I did this race as part of a double-header (with the Trail Marathon des Papillons the previous day, by the same organisers). It was a genuine privilege to run in these events. The routes were well-thought-out, the drinks stations were stocked with fresh fruit and the signage was good. But the thing that struck me most was the feeling of community. The small field was half Togolese and half 'tourists', but running is the great leveller - we were all in it together. Everyone chatted before, during and after the runs, and when we finished we were greeted with such warmth by the residents of the local town, who cheered, played music and danced until the last runner came home. Highly recommended for an out-of-the-ordinary marathon that will exceed all your expectations!
