Cross the Equator in one of Africa’s most scenic marathons

Aloi Marathon was established during the colonial times and covered the distance of about 42 kms from Alebtong (8 kms from Aloi) to Lira. Winners were rewarded with donations of animals (cows and sheep).

The Marathon was a victim of political instabilities in the country and it collapsed in the early 1970s. Since then attempts to revive it have been unsuccessful. As shown in the link below its was run in 2001, when it was revived and that was the last time.
