How do virtual challenges work?

Virtual challenges allow you to complete the required distance or steps at your own pace and location during the specified timeframe. You'll typically track your activity using a fitness app or GPS watch, submit your results to the organizer, and receive a finisher's medal and certificate.

What trail running events are scheduled for 2026?

What is the typical cost range for marathons in Nairobi?

Costs vary by distance and organizer: 5-10km races typically cost KES 1,500-3,000, half marathons range from KES 2,000-3,000, and full marathons cost KES 2,500-8,000. Ultra-marathons and multi-day events like Kilimanjaro Trails Festival may cost more. Virtual challenges generally range from KES 1,500-2,500.

Do race fees typically include a t-shirt and medal?

Most races include a finisher's medal in the registration fee. T-shirts are usually included but some races, like Karen Resolution Trail Run, charge separately for t-shirts (KES 1,500 additional). It's best to check the specific race details when registering.

When should I register to get early bird pricing?

Many races offer advance/early bird pricing that can save you KES 500-1,000. For example, Tigoni Tea Trails offers advance pricing at KES 2,500 versus standard KES 3,000. Register as early as possible as popular races like the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon and Nairobi City Marathon can sell out weeks in advance.

Which marathons are held outside Nairobi but are easily accessible?

Several races are held in accessible locations outside Nairobi: Kilimanjaro Trails Festival in Tanzania (February 6-8), Mountain Madness Ultra in Naivasha (March 7), Mudathon in Nanyuki (May 31), Amazing Maasai Marathon in Loldaiga (July 25), Flock It Elementaita Run (August 16), and UltraMarathon in Maasai Mara (November 14). These races often offer travel packages for participants.

Do organizers provide transportation to races held outside Nairobi?

Some organizers like Bucket List Adventures provide travel packages for their events in Naivasha, Nanyuki, and other locations. Check with individual race organizers about transportation options when registering.

How much time should I allow for training before my first marathon?

For beginners attempting their first 5K or 10K, allow 8-12 weeks of training. Half marathon runners should train for 12-16 weeks, and full marathon participants need 16-20 weeks of proper training. Ultra-marathons require even more preparation time - typically 20-24 weeks or more.

Where can I find training groups in Nairobi?

Join local running clubs like Blue Ribbon Kenya (Contact: 0739842420) or Runner's Point (Contact: 0720824956). Many race organizers also provide training plans on their websites and host group training sessions leading up to their events. Follow race organizers on social media for information about training runs.

What medical requirements are needed for marathons?

Medical certificates may be required for longer distances, typically half marathon (21km) and full marathon (42km) distances. Check specific race requirements during registration. It's always recommended to consult your doctor before undertaking endurance events.

What time do most races start?

Most road races in Kenya start early morning, typically between 5:30 AM and 7:00 AM to avoid the midday heat. Trail races and ultra-marathons may have staggered starts. Check your specific race details for exact timing.

What's the difference between Nairobi City Marathon and Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon?

Both are major marathon events but are separate races. The Nairobi City Marathon takes place on June 7, 2026, while the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon is scheduled for October 25, 2026. Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon is Kenya's largest and most prestigious marathon, marking its 23rd edition in 2026 and attracting thousands of international participants.

Which is the most prestigious marathon in Kenya?

The Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon (October 25, 2026) is Kenya's largest and most prestigious marathon event, attracting thousands of participants from around the globe for its 23rd edition. It's known for its excellent organization, international standards, and charitable focus.

What is the best time of year to run a marathon in Nairobi?

Nairobi has pleasant running weather year-round due to its high altitude (1,795m) and equatorial location. However, many runners prefer the cooler, drier months of June-September and December-March. Be prepared for possible rain during April-May and October-November rainy seasons.

How does Nairobi's altitude affect race performance?

Nairobi sits at approximately 1,795 meters (5,889 feet) above sea level. If you're coming from sea level, allow time to acclimatize before racing. The altitude can initially make breathing more difficult, but it also provides excellent training conditions for endurance athletes.
