Course Details

For 2026 the race moves to a redesigned route along the Southern Bypass. The flagship Main Race has been shortened in lap count from previous editions (previously run as a 72km race) to create a more seamless 75km experience. Expect a mix of tarmac road riding typical of Nairobi's bypass roads. Road bikes are appropriate for the Main Race, Black Mamba, and Team categories.

Getting There

Uhuru Gardens is on Langata Road, approximately 6km southwest of Nairobi CBD. From the CBD, the fastest route is via Uhuru Highway/A104 and Langata Road, avoiding Moi Avenue - about 24 minutes (7.4km) by car. Parking is available on site.
