Moshi, Tanzania – CRDB Bank has been announced as the new sponsor of the 5km Fun Run at the 23rd Kilimanjaro Premium Lager International Marathon, set to take place on February 23, 2025.

The sponsorship will see the fun run renamed the "CRDB Bank 5km Fun Run," marking the second consecutive year of CRDB Bank's involvement in the event. Last year, the bank contributed as a supporting sponsor.
