The 3rd edition of the Nairobi City marathon, which was set for this Sunday 7th July, has been postponed to 8th September to allow more participants to register and give time for registered athletes to prepare adequately

According to the organisers, they are aiming to surpass last year’s entry of 15,000 participants who will compete in 42km,21km,11.7km and the 4km family fun run.

The marathon course has been altered from last year’s, with the starting point being moved to Kenyatta Avenue and finishing at Uhuru Park.

Winners of the 42 km will be rewarded with 3,500,000 for both men and women trickling down to 20th position, while the half marathon winners will pocket 150,000 and 100,000 for the 11km express way winners.

Robert Kipkemboi and Naomi Jebet were crowned last year’s winners in the 42km races.
