Kilimanjaro Hiking Challenge
21-31 October 2010 

Join Macmillan and push yourself to your limits on our toughest trek yet - conquering the greatest mountain in Africa, the sky-high Mount Kilimanjaro.

Standing at 5,896m, Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world.  Macmillan Cancer Support is offering you the chance to reach new heights whilst raising money to help people living with cancer. Our path, following the Machame Route, takes us from the base of this huge dormant volcano, over moorland, rocky trails and scree to the glaciers at the summit. 

Long days of trekking, tough terrain and the ever increasing altitude combine to make this the ultimate physical and mental challenge, but the spectacular ice cliffs and breathtaking views across the Maasai plains, together with the knowledge that you are supporting people with cancer with every step will be your reward.

The 9-19 October 2010 trip is now full, but registration is now open for the 21-31 October Kili Challenge.
