Event Description

The challenge to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro calls people from around the world. Though few will ever reach the 19,341 Uhuru Peak summit, the non-profit UboraTZ wants to make the adventure of climbing the tallest freestanding mountain in the world accessible to all with a virtual event in February, 2021…Climb Kili.

All proceeds raised from Climb Kili benefit UboraTZ, a nonprofit organization serving a community of people in Tanzania, once severely impoverished, who live in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

People can participate in Climb Kili from anywhere in the world. Climbers have the entire month of February to climb, walk or run one of three virtual routes up Kilimanjaro of varying levels of challenge and difficulty. An interactive map on the Climb Kili website charts a climber’s progress up the mountain. Throughout the month, climbers will receive inspirational and educational information about Mt. Kilimanjaro and will get to know people from the community of Karansi, the beneficiaries of the event. For their efforts, climbers will receive a year-one commemorative Climb Kili medal!
