Dubbed one of the toughest around the world as runners run along side wild animals such as giraffes, rhinos, gazelles and the occasional lions. The runners are kept safe by a several helicopters which hover along the route to keep the wild animals away. The scenery is amazing with security in the conservancy being one of the priorities. I have done 5 races in the 21km category and it has become a ritual since I started.

I did the 21km race.
