Last week’s run was a sublime urban Swara run – quite literally urban! – in and around Ngong Road and Adams Arcade. A great time was had by all, both on and off the trail, and we were delighted to see some new members amongst us, welcome to all of you! Many Swaras also joined other representative of Nairobi’s recreational running community for the first Nairobi Marathon Relay, organised in Karen by David Thuo of Fitness With David. What a great show of dedication, solidarity, and running fun by all, and well done to all who took part! Medals were given, and awards to the winning teams in each category, with several Swaras being recognised as teams and individuals, but at the end of the day, all who showed up deserve praise for getting past the start and finish line in one piece, and showing what sportsmanship and super loud cheering is all about! Well done to all who took part. See photo highlights in the Starting Line: https://sway.office.com/4Qqkq6VmIQIC9qZO?ref=Link
