The marathon was seeking to raise 600 million KSH.
Among those who were participating in the marathon was, CS Interior, Joseph Nkaiserry, Deputy President, William Ruto, Supreme Court Judge, Njoki Ndung’u and CS foreign affairs, Amina Mohamed. Most of the roads leading to and fro from the the Nyayo National Stadium remained closed for the better part of the day.
