The Kigali International Peace Marathon[a] is an annual road-based marathon hosted by Kigali, Rwanda, since 2005.[1][6] It is a World Athletics Label Road Race and a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[7][8] During the race weekend, a half marathon and a 10K fun run[b] are also offered.[9] A night run is also associated with the event, though not held during the same weekend.[10]
History
[edit]In 2004, during the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide a decade earlier, Soroptimist International decided to organize a marathon to promote the development of peace through sports.[1][6] The inaugural race was held on 15 May 2005.[1][5]
The 2020 edition of the race was postponed twice before being cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[11][12]
