Course Details

The run/walk starts and finishes at Mövenpick Hotel & Residences in Westlands, with both 5km and 10km distances available. This is a non-competitive community event - the emphasis is on participation, movement, and the festival atmosphere rather than race times.

Getting There

Mövenpick Nairobi Hotel & Residences is on Mkungu Close, Westlands, approximately 4.4km from Nairobi CBD via Parklands Road, around a 15 minute drive despite usual traffic. From the CBD, follow Moi Avenue and Kipande Road to Ojijo Road (6 min), continue straight at the roundabout onto Ojijo Road (2 min), take Parklands Road to Mkungu Close (4 min), then turn left onto Mkungu Close - the venue is on the right (under 1 min).
