Tanzania’s Minister for Constitutional and Legal Affairs Juma Zuberi Homera is set to officiate the inaugural Wakili Marathon 2026 at Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma on May 31.
The event was confirmed by Rashid Said, Secretary General of the Tanzania Public Bar Association who said preparations for the marathon are at an advanced stage.
Organised under the theme “Bringing Legal Aid Closer to Tanzanians”, the marathon aims to raise funds to improve access to legal services, particularly for marginalised communities.
Part of the proceeds will be used to establish a digital legal aid system to help vulnerable groups access legal assistance more easily.
The event will feature 5km, 10km and 21km races and is open to the public, including children, as organisers seek to inspire future lawyers and advocates across Tanzania.
