10 km of Dakar 2027

The 10 km of Dakar is your dose of energy right in the city, festive style, in the Guédiawaye department: a race that lets you discover Dakar to the rhythm of your strides, between neighborhood vibes and a big breath of Senegalese air 🌍.

You choose your format: 2 km for kids and juniors, 5 km to treat yourself without burning out, or 10 km to challenge yourself with a smile! 😄

Here, no need to overthink it: you come as you are, you soak up the atmosphere, you let the cheers carry you, and you surprise yourself “dakar-buring” all the way to the finish (promise, I’m not overdoing the puns) 🎉.

My local guide tip: arrive a little early, find your access point, keep a small bottle of water for afterwards, and plan a shady spot to catch your breath once you’ve crossed the line ✅.

And the best part is the post-race just nearby: go chill on the Corniche for a walk facing the ocean, stop by the African Renaissance Monument for the view, take a spin through Kermel Market for the vibe and colors, or hop over to Gorée Island if you want to extend the day in discovery mode 💡.
