A joint conservation effort between the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, African Parks, Kafue National Park and the Wildlife Ranger Challenge, the race has 10km and 21km routes open to the public, and a gruelling 21km option for rangers who each run with a 22kg backpack to prove their extraordinary fitness through challenging terrain. Coinciding with the International Wildlife Ranger Challenge, the event aims to showcase the country’s largest protected area and the dedicated individuals safeguarding it. — Sub-contracted by Ulendo Creative Media for the Kafue National Park.
