About the Nairobi 10K
The Nairobi 10K delivers Kenyan running excellence at altitude. Runners navigate through East Africa's most important city in the homeland of marathon legends. June's mild winter creates ideal racing conditions at 1,795 meters elevation as participants experience both colonial influences and modern African development. The challenging course features serious hills while providing continuous mountain views beyond the city. Kenyan spectators create an atmosphere of genuine running appreciation as participants flow through streets in the nation that dominates distance running. This significant race captures Nairobi's distinctive character—naturally elevated yet athletically superior—offering a quintessential East African running experience in the very cradle of marathon excellence.
