Marathons

We organise packages to some of the world’s most unusual marathons, in unconventional locations, including the likes of Iraq and Pakistan.

By taking part, you are not only having a great adventure and taking on a sporting challenge, but also helping and supporting the running community in other more challenging regions.

These trips allow for an important cultural exchange between runners and support the development of training programmes and events in less developed nations. It’s a win-win.

In addition to these current trips, we were pioneers in organising marathon races in Afghanistan and Somaliland, as well as organising packages to races in Saudi Arabia and Mogadishu.

At all of these events, we either help support the race itself or support local runners. See below for the list of marathon events we currently arrange travel to or contact the team for further information – info@untamedborders.com
