Did You Know?

🌍The Sahihi Green Run is now in its 9th edition, having run annually since around 2017.

🌍The course winds through the Gatatha Farmers Co. Ltd. coffee and tea estates - one of the few runs in Kenya where participants run directly through active farmland.

🌍The Sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii) is a semi-aquatic antelope found in swampy, densely forested areas of Kenya; conservation efforts for this shy species form part of the run's environmental mission.

🌍Kiambu County is Kenya's largest coffee-growing region and one of the most productive tea-growing areas in the country.

🌍The run is powered by Sahihi Interior Builders, Sahihi Buildings Maintenance, and Bingwa.Ke Handyman Services.
