Africa Marathons is an Official Travel Partner of the Victoria Falls Marathon

The date for the Victoria Falls Marathon has been confirmed as Sunday 3 July 2022.

Taking place around one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, there are not many better settings for a running event anywhere! The Vic Falls Marathon route is relatively flat and fast and is well marshalled with regular cooling down sections and water stations.

The marathon race route crosses over the Victoria Falls Bridge, briefly into Zambia offering runners some of the most spectacular scenery in Africa, before continuing through the Zambezi National Park with some superb views of the river, and ending back in town. The Full Marathon is a ‘double loop’ of this route giving you plenty of time to also catch a glimpse of the local wildlife.

If you're not quite ready for the full 42.2km full marathon there is a 21.2km half marathon and a 7.5km fun run.

What do you do the night before a race? 🌙 "I carbo load before a race. Good carbs are things like sweet potato, whole wheat pasta, brown rice etc. I have quite a big pasta the night before with a bit of protein too, usually in the form of chicken or tuna, with not too much sauce to avoid tummy issues on race day. I love spicy food, so my meal the night before races is always quite bland to me." - Coach Nick Bester #racetips #marathonrunningtips #runningtips

To those starting out as marathon runners, what advice would you give them? 🏃 "Firstly, enjoy the process! Secondly, never underestimate just how tough that last 10kms is going to be. In my first marathon I definitely underestimated just how tough that last bit would be. It’s always tough. As long as you’re prepared for it then you’ll be able to handle it. I know marathons can be scary, but enjoy every second! There is nothing quite like finishing your first one! No better feeling in the world!" - Coach Nick Bester Learn more about our coach Nick on our website: https://www.africamarathons.com/coach/
