The Diacore Gaborone Marathon is a charitable race that has grown from 2,000 to over 11,000 participants. It is an AIMS and IAAF certified event, a qualifier for the Commonwealth and Olympic games, and is renowned as one of the flattest and fastest routes in the region.

Why attend here

In Gaborone, April brings the tail of the rainy season—warm days and fresh, green landscapes that make the flat, fast course even more inviting. After your run, wander through the craft markets at the Main Mall or spot wildlife at the nearby Mokolodi Nature Reserve, then refuel with a plate of seswaa and a cold St. Louis beer at a local spot.
