Course Details
The course runs through the coffee and tea estates of Kiambu on the Limuru Road corridor, starting and finishing at Cianda High School (also referred to as All Saints High School, Cianda). The terrain is typical of the Kiambu highlands - rolling green farmland with cool conditions ideal for running. The 5km and 10km are open to walkers and runners alike; the 21km is a run-only category. A 'Beyond 21km' optional distance is available for those who want to push further.
Getting There
Cianda High School is on Kiambu Limuru Road, approximately 25km north of Nairobi CBD via Kiambu Road or the Northern Bypass. The drive from Nairobi takes around 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Arrive by 6:30 AM for the stretch and race briefing.

🌍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.
