The concept of Mombasa Run is to celebrate the city and the runners of Mombasa.
By celebrating the city, we mean highlighting all the beautiful running routes of the city and inviting the runners to go and discover them: Nyali Beach, Mama Ngina waterfront, Green wood drive, Pirate beach, Downtown and many more.
By celebrating the runners, we mean featuring all the runners group of city, the runners or active players in the running community allowing people to reach out to them directly: Eric Shikuku, Asijiki Fitness (Gladys), Mombasa Hash House Harriers and more are joining as people get to know about Mombasa Run.
Our objective is to invite runners / walkers and fitness enthusiasts from all over the country to come discover the beauty of Mombasa, connect with the runners of the city and have everyone running in different running routes of the city on the 20th & 21st of November.
They will join the runners’ groups who will be running specific distances in different places, run alone or with a small group of friends. We will be announcing where the groups will run on our social media. We also have some celebrities joining and running Mombasa Run over the weekend. Legendary Douglas Wakiihuri born in Mombasa will also be running as well as some run groups from other cities such as Tipwa Tipwa…
This is not a competitive run it is a fun run, it is open to everyone, once you register you get a good quality runner t shirt (polyester, rice Knit) and once you run and post a beautiful picture of your run on www.Mombasa.Run you qualify for the medal.
We will be also featuring some hotel and transportation partners with great offers for people traveling from other cities.
