Getting There

TEAU is located in Kitengela, Kajiado County, approximately 40km south of Nairobi along the Nairobi-Kajiado-Namanga highway, roughly a 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minute drive from the Nairobi CBD depending on traffic and route. Avoid parking too close to the start and finish zones as access may be restricted; consider parking further away and walking in, or arranging drop-offs in advance. If using a taxi or ride-hailing service, book in advance and aim to arrive at least 60 minutes before race start, as demand will be high on race day.
