Dear Swaras,

There are always surprises when it comes to Swara runs! This time we had a new venue for Swaras to discover, and we also had kilometres upon kilometres of Runda neighbourhoods that we never knew existed, and to top it all off, we had a boda boda ferry (literally) to take us across a flooded part of the road! All in all, a great Swara outing, and a lovely sociable time all-round. See some photo highlights in the Starting Line: https://sway.office.com/e5oUL2AmSuP0aVyE?ref=Link

#HaveYourSay

Dear Swaras,

Despite the last-minute change in venue we had a great turnout for our second town run in a row, and the ‘locals’ (those from the Kilieleshwa neighbourhood) came crawling out of the woodwork for a local run! Apologies to those disappointed that we didn’t have the planned trail run, sometimes these things happen, thank for your understanding! This week we’re running from Replica Cafe at Rosslyn Riviera Mall, Limuru Road. Check out some photo highlights and also how to nominate your future Swara Committee in the Starting Line: https://sway.office.com/AtyLD0AXH3XOiBvG?ref=Link

This week’s run – Replica Cafe, Rosslyn Riviera Mall

This weekend we will be running from Replica Cafe at Rosslyn Riviera Mall, Limuru Road. We will have distances from 10km to 30km, with a scintillating mix of trail and tarmac. See the Starting Line for more details and to register: https://sway.office.com/AtyLD0AXH3XOiBvG?ref=Link

Notice of AGM

The AGM was announced some time ago, and you still have just over a week to nominate the individuals you want to run (pun intended) the club! See full info and link to nominate here: https://sway.office.com/UwtJmyc26qT08NUU?ref=Link

#ReplicaRun

Dear Swaras,
Unfortunately we will not be able to offer the run at Settler’s View Resort due to route conditions: intense rains, overgrown grass and thicket, too muddy and concerns from tea estate managers.
We are therefore announcing a late change of Venue to Kasuku Centre, Kileleshwa. 
Apologies for any inconvenience caused, we know a few of you had registered and were looking forward to it, as were we as officials! 

Dear Swaras,

We got back to our roots this past weekend, with a trail run around Nkoroi/Rongai, from The Smith. Those who braved the rain as they left the house were rewarded once they got to The Smith, with clear skies and a not (too) muddy trail! There was also a lovely and lively breakfast shared by all after the run, thank you to all who joined. Kudos to Benja, our Trail Fox, who had to completely remark as a result of the rains, never an easy task. See some photo highlights in the Starting Line: https://sway.office.com/NfOCO3xMIgxFcFLz?ref=Link

This week’s run – Settler’s View Resort, Kiambu

This weekend we will be running from Settler’s View Resort in Kiambu. We will have distances from 10km to 30km, with a majority trail. Sadly Lynton Farm Ecogreen run is not happening this year, as previously scheduled, but we will still be running from the same venue, so still expect the same great trail run! See the Starting Line for more details and to register: https://sway.office.com/NfOCO3xMIgxFcFLz?ref=Link
