Sun shines for 2019 Kenya Marafun

Despite heavy rain during the preceding week, the day of the third Kenya Marafun dawned clear and sunny. 319 took part, running, jogging and walking over the steep hills and through the cliff-lined valleys of Hell’s Gate national park, past herds of giraffe, zebra and warthogs.

Eighty former street boys from the Sunshine Centre led the way, accompanied by students from the Naivasha Polytechnic, Bishop Wambari Girl’s school and a team of visitors who travelled all the way from UK to take part.

Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) provided a team of rangers to patrol the park and keep inquisitive buffaloes away from the route. KWS head warden Peter Lekeren was so impressed with the event that he invited us to do it again next year!
