About Us

The Nakuru Classic Marathon was founded with a vision to promote sports, wellness, and community development through running. Set against the scenic backdrop of Nakuru’s landscapes—including the world-famous Lake Nakuru and the Great Rift Valley—the marathon provides an unforgettable experience for participants and spectators alike.

We believe in using sport as a catalyst for positive change. Each year, proceeds from the marathon support local charities, youth programs, and environmental conservation initiatives, making every step count towards a brighter future.
