For half a decade, the Strathmore University Annual Run has stood as a beacon of inspiration, unity, and achievement. What began as a passion for running has grown into a powerful movement, bringing together runners, families, sponsors, and partners to champion education through scholarships and transform lives.

As we prepare for the 6th edition of the Strathmore Annual Run, I warmly invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable milestone. This initiative reflects our enduring commitment to education and our belief in equity, opportunity, and community empowerment, all achieved through the shared joy of sport and generosity.

Whether you are a seasoned runner pursuing a personal best or a first-time participant ready for a new challenge, this run is designed to inspire you to go further.

Our gratitude goes to the volunteers, sponsors, and partners whose unwavering support has made this event possible year after year. Because of you, the Run has grown from just 200 participants in its inaugural edition to over 2,000 runners in 2025.

Together, we have raised more than KES 14 million for the Strathmore University Scholarship Fund, creating life-changing opportunities for many bright and deserving students to access quality higher education.

This year, the need is even greater. As demand for scholarships continues to rise, we remain committed to ensuring that no deserving student is left behind because of financial barriers. By running with us, you are doing more than testing your physical limits, you are investing in the future leaders of our nation and continent.

I invite you to bring your families, friends, and colleagues. Register, run, and be part of this journey of hope and transformation. Let us run for impact.

See you at the starting line.

Welcome to the Strathmore Annual Run, an event that brings together participants from diverse backgrounds with a shared goal: raising funds to support students from disadvantaged families. Since its inception, the run has grown into a platform that combines sport, community and social impact.

This year, we welcome over 5,000 runners to the 6th edition, with race categories for all abilities, from the full marathon to shorter distances and family runs. This participation reflects the inclusive nature of the event and the shared commitment behind it.

We thank our students, volunteers, parents, staff, alumni, security and medical teams, donors, corporate sponsors, county governments and sports authorities for their continued support in delivering a safe and well-organized race day. The Strathmore University Foundation (SUF) continues to support participants through well-coordinated race services and on-ground facilitation.

The Strathmore Annual Run reflects the university’s commitment to education, leadership and social impact. Funds raised support scholarship programmes, helping expand access to quality education for deserving students.

By taking part, you contribute to this effort and support future leaders. We invite you to be part of this shared purpose.

“Believe in a Better Tomorrow”
