Triathlon – Sun, Sea & Swahili Soul

Jambo, athletes and active travelers! January is the perfect moment to harness renewed energy. With clear skies, warm weather, and a fresh start to the year, Kilifi provides an exceptional natural playground for endurance training and world-class events.

Whether you’re preparing for a marathon, competing in the celebrated Kilifi Gold Triathlon, or simply exploring a new way to stay fit, Mnarani Beach Club is more than just a resort – it’s the ideal training base. 

From the calm waters of the creek to our perfect coastal running trails, Kilifi offers a unique and invigorating triathlon experience powered by the sun and the Swahili spirit.

A Stunning Setting for Triathlon Training

Triathlons demand versatility, endurance, and a deep connection with your environment, and Mnarani’s surroundings deliver all three in one scenic package. Our prime location along Kilifi Creek provides natural, unparalleled training conditions:

The creek’s protected waters are calm and warm, offering ideal open-water swimming conditions without the hassle of heavy surf, perfect for sighting and long-distance sessions. Meanwhile, cyclists appreciate the smooth, scenic coastal roads that offer varied terrain and rolling landscapes for challenging rides. 

Runners can utilize the expansive beachfront and well-maintained resort trails, which are perfect for both long-distance endurance runs and sprint work. Even less experienced swimmers find the creek welcoming, while seasoned athletes love the consistency and clarity of the conditions.

The Kilifi Gold Triathlon: A Coastal Classic

The Kilifi Gold Triathlon is one of the region’s most anticipated sporting events, drawing competitors from all corners of Kenya and international athletes seeking a unique challenge.
