Do I need to register?

No. There are no sign-ups and no fees. Just show up at the venue for that week.

How do I find out where this week's run is?

Check werunnairobi.com/calendar or follow @werunnairobi on Instagram. The venue is posted ahead of each Saturday.

For Karura runs, the contingency venue is the Arboretum. Always check Instagram the morning of for any last-minute changes.

Can I walk instead of run?

Absolutely. Walking is totally okay and all paces are welcome.

Will I be photographed?

The runs are a photography zone. Photos and videos may be used on WRN and partners' platforms. If you'd prefer not to appear in content, let the team know on the day.
