I can say everyone who ran on Saturday had a fantastic time, and enjoyed the Kabete hills and trails. A whole band of brothers from that area, who thought they knew every twist and turn, were astonished to discover routes they never knew about. There was also a stellar Swara contingency at the Run Beyond/Team Jasho/Friends of Karura Forest Karura run on the same day, some of those photos in the Starting Line (borrowed from the organisers): https://sway.office.com/vodLaKaUFkiLcmSl?ref=LinkGood news about Stan Chart physical marathon!
