Why should I take part?
Entering a team into the Kilimanjaro Marathon will not only provide ISM with some excellent publicity in the region (all runners will be given a specially designed ISM T-Shirt), but is also an opportunity to raise some much needed funds for the ISM Scholarship Programme. All profit raised from this event will benefit ISM's Scholarship Programme, which develops and prepares talented and ambitious Tanzanian students for future leadership positions within the nation and Africa.

The fee to join the ISM race team is Tsh 20,000/=, and if 50 people were to register for the ISM race team, then we could raise over Tsh 500,000/= for the ISM Scholarship Programme.
