The marathon continues to grow as one of Botswana's premier road-running events. It attracts local and international athletes and brings more than 4,000 runners and spectators together for a day of competition, fitness and community spirit. As the largest one-day running event in Northern Botswana, it also supports sports tourism and gives businesses a platform to showcase their products and services to a large, engaged audience. It gives BTC a chance to engage directly with customers and hear their feedback on service delivery.
