MT. KILIMANJARO MARATHON – NOTES -1
Baada ya mafanikio makubwa ya kumleta mcheza sinema maarufu wa Marekani Deidre Lorenz kushiriki mbio za Mount Kilimanjaro Marathon zilizotimua vumbi tarehe 24 Juni 2012 sasa klabu ya Mout Kilimanjaro Marathon 1991 imeanzisha mbio za “Great Kilimanjaro Run – GKR”
GKR zitafanyika mjini Moshi kila mwaka kuanzia tarehe 22 - 28 October 2012 zikishirikisha klabu zote za riadha kutoka mkoa wa Kili manjaro. GKR itazishikisha mbio fupi (Track and Field events) na kumalizia na marathon siku ya jumapili tarehe 28 October.
Akizungunzia uamuzi wa kushirikisha mbio fupi katika GKR Rais wa klabu ya Mt. Kilimanbjaro Marathon 1991 Onesmo Ngowi alisema kuwa klabu yake inataka kuziendeleza pia mbio fupi na michezo mingine ya uwanjani badala ya kuweka juhudi zote kwenye marathon tu.“Watu wamekazania sana marathon na kusahau mbio fupi ambazo zilishawahi kuliletea taifa hili sfa kubwa sana” alisema Ngowi kwa msisitizo.
Kuanzishwa kwa GKR kutaufanya mji wa Moshi kuwa na mbio tatu za marathon kwa sasa na hii inaufanya mji huu kutoa nafasi kubwa kwa wanariadha kukuza na kuendeleza vipaji vyao.
Tutamleta Haile Gabreselasie aje kuzindua mbio hizi” alisema Ngowi ambaye mwaka jana alikuwa na mazungumzo marefu jijini Addis Ababa na gwiji hili la mbio ndefu duniani kutoka nchi ya Ethiopia. Ngoiwi aliweza pia kutiliana mkataba na shirika la ndege la Ethiopia (Ethiopia Airlines) jijini Addis Ababa kufadhili mbio za Mount Kilimanjaro Marathon. Kwa sasa Ethiopia Airlines (ET) ndio wafadhali pekee wa Mount Kilimanjaro Marathon. ET wanatoa punguzo kwa wakimbiaji wanaoshirtiki kwenye mbio hizi kutoka sehemu mbalimbai duniani.
Aidha, ET wanalipia gharama za kutangaza mbio hizi wakati wa New York Marathon, L.A Marathon na Boston Marathon. Hii inaitangaza sana Tanzania kwani mbio hizi tatu zinawashirikisha wakimbiaji wengi sana kutoka katika nchi nyingi duniani. Kwenye mbio hizi za Marakani Mt. Kilimanjaro Marathon huweka banda la maonyesho linaloitangaza Tanzania na vivutio vyake.
Pia Mt. Kilimanjaro Marathom huchezesha nahati nasibu (raffle) kwenye mbio hizi tatu za Marekani ili kuwapata washiriki maarufu kama Deidre Lorenz kuja kukimbia na kuitangaza vyema Tanzania.
Aliendelea kusema kuwa nchi hii ni yetu sote hivyo tuna jukumu la kuitangaza na kuiendeleza wote alisisitiza Ngowi ambaye mwaka 2000 ofisi ya Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ilimpa tuzo ya “Mwanateknolojia wa Karne ya 20” kwa juhudi zake za kuendeleza Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano (TEHAMA).
Ngowi anawaalika watu binafsi, makampuni na taasisi kushirikiana naye kuendeleza Utalii wa michezo hapa Tanzania ili kuipeleka nchi hii hatua moja mbele kwenye utandawazi.

To choose the right route for you, there are plenty of variables to be mindful of.
• Who: Who is climbing? The whole group's abilities must be factored into choosing a route. The rest of the party is relying on your decision. Pick a route that best fits everyone.
• What: What limitations surround your climb? Are you bound by a budget? Or the number of days on your trip? There are cheap/expensive routes, and short/long itineraries.
• How: How do you see your trek? Do you want the most challenging route or a less strenuous one? These answers will affect which route is for you.
• Where: Where do you want to begin your climb? The routes start from all sides of the mountain. Where you begin affects cost, scenery and scenic variety.
• Why: Why are you climbing? Is it very important to summit? Then choose a route with a high success rate. Do you want to take the best photos? Then pick the most scenic route.
• When: If you are climbing during the dry season, great. But if you are climbing during the rainy season or the shoulder seasons, then the route you select can play into the climb's difficulty.
Which is the best route to use to climb up kilimanjaro? Lemosho Route and Rongai Route are the most scenic routes up kilimanjaro. Mt Kili manjaro Machame route is also a scenic and very popular route with many climbers. The Marangu Route Climb is however the most used route since it has the advantage of sleeping in huts with bunker beds, hot showers, beverages and beers in the evenings are also available. Marangu is also the shorter route and can be done in 5 days although an extra day for acclimatisation is recommended.
