The Ruaha Marathon 2018 race to resume in Iringa on July 21 this year after it has not occurred for several years since its establishment. 

Speaking during the press briefing yesterday, Ruaha marathon organizing committee Coordinator, Frank Mwaisumbe said that the aim of the race is to create awareness on the need to protect the Great Ruaha River from further drying up and also to promote the Southern Circuit as a tourist destination. 

He said that the River Ruaha is life line for wildlife in Ruaha National Park and the community at large. 

“Sports activities in most instances goes hand in hand with development matters that’s why we at the organizing committee have seen that potential as we strive to join hand with the on-going government efforts to support sports industry,” he Mwaisumbe. 

Mwaisumbe said that another goal of the athletic competition is to identify sport talents in the Southern Highland regions. 

He noted that Ruaha Marathon has attracted youth talent, most of which are participating in national and international competitions. 

He added that the competition not looking for talent for young people but also creation of employment opportunities for those who want to make the race for employment and will be sent to colleges that teach how to run professionally in order to achieve their goals. 

Mwaisumbe said that in 2011 the race was started until 2014 and stopped after a lot of things but it has now begun the 5th Ruaha Marathon of July 21 this year. 

On his part, Iringa District Commissioner Richard Kasesela has invited many Tanzanians and stakeholders to participate in the race for the purpose of contributing to the development of the region because 35% of funding will go to a health facility. 

He said it needed more than 700 million to improve the Ngome health facility of Kihesa Ward in Iringa Municipality since it has now been flooded by patients and most of them have been transferred to the Frelimo district or region hospitals. 

DC Kasesela said the competition is currently experiencing the challenge of sponsors, and urges stakeholders to volunteer not only to run but also to contributions because of the competition the stakeholders contribute to the construction of the health center.
