Course Details
The course runs through the rugged terrain around Naivasha, with rocky trails, open ridges, and forest sections depending on the route. The longer distances involve significant elevation gain so poles are worth considering for the 52km. Expect loose rock and uneven ground throughout.
Getting There
The race starts at Maiella Primary School near Naivasha, roughly 90km northwest of Nairobi via the A104. Naivasha town is about 15 to 20 minutes from the venue. The drive from Nairobi takes around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic.
