Race day is here.
This morning, wildlife and marine rangers, including 166 teams, across 21 African countries, are on the start line for the 21km, carrying up to 22kg of kit - all part of the Wildlife Ranger Challenge. Hub events are underway at Lewa in Kenya, Kruger and Zuka in South Africa, Kafue in Zambia and Murchison Falls in Uganda as well as other races in many other countries.
Many of these teams have been training for this since July.
We’ll be sharing results and moments from across the continent over the coming days in our posts and stories. Please support the rangers if you can and donate via the link in our bio. Thanks to founding donor markscheinberg, every donation is matched, so your support goes twice as far.
