Welcome to Zimbabwe
The Victoria Falls Marathon makes a justifiable claim to being one of the most scenic and extraordinary running events in Africa. A World Heritage Site and commonly accepted as one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, Victoria Falls produces the world's largest sheet of falling water, and is roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls.
The Victoria Falls marathon offers full and half marathons and a 7.5km fun run. It is relatively flat and fast and is well marshaled, with regular cooling down sections and water stations. The route takes in the Victoria Falls Bridge, the Upper Zambezi River and the Victoria Falls National Park.
You can find out much more about the Victoria Falls Marathon by following the link below.

Proof that these medals don’t come easy, and even more proof that having us there at the finish with a cold one and a crew to carry you home (read as the glorious @vineyard_hotel AKA, the perfect place to relax poolside with a wine in hand) is KEY to a memorable @totalsportstwooceansmarathon trip 🤩
It’s hard to put a weekend like that into words when the legs are wrecked, the emotions are wild, and the memories are still sinking in. But lucky for you… we captured it all.
Our race weekend video is DONE and dropping this week.
Keep your eyes peeled, this one’s going to hit you right in the feels.
Here’s to day two and what a day it was!
A relaxed half marathon to start (or a top-tier ultra recovery run, complete with the best breakfast buffet around at @vineyard_hotel ), followed by a lazy afternoon by the pool, and capped off with a hearty team dinner to toast everything we’ve achieved.
It doesn’t get much better than this 🤩
