The ninth Dar Night Run is staged at the Police Officers Mess in Oysterbay on Saturday 29 August, with the organisers expecting more than two thousand runners against about fifteen hundred a year ago.
The race is run at night, with a 10:00pm start.
Two distances and a closed entry
The Runners Club, which organises the event, lists two categories: a 10km Challenge and a 15km Long Night. Entry has closed. The regional athletics association in Dar es Salaam is involved alongside the club, and Castle Lite, Ifakara Health Institute and Skechers are among the sponsors.
Where it sits in the Tanzanian road calendar
Kilimanjaro has February, Dodoma has July and Zanzibar has October. Dar Night Run has the night.
None of this is elite racing. The field is a mass participation field and the distances are set for club runners rather than for national record holders. AXN Sports will carry the result once the organisers publish it.
