Toko Ningana! The Congo River Marathon
We absolutely enjoyed taking part of the Congo River Half Marathon in vibrant and chaotic Kinshasa, with military men shouting "courage!" and hundreds of locals with colourful tshirts running. This is a marathon like no other, in a country that will surprise you, unnerve you and fascinate you a the same time!
