S. S. from London (11/2/2007)
"Total chaos from the start..." (about: 2007)

11-50 previous marathons | 4-5 Nairobi Marathons
COURSE: 2  ORGANIZATION: 1  FANS: 1


I have run this marathon many times and this year was one I will never forget.

I was part of the lead groups of runners in the half marathon who were directed along the wrong route. We then were told to turn around and start again. By the time we got back to the start line, we had lost 12 minutes and there was no chance of catching the new leaders.
Total chaos, and the organizers should be ashamed of themselves.

First Marathon

It is such a great joy to run at home and most of all to see how Kenyans value running. Almost everybody showed up at this race. There is definitely so much potential among the Kenyans. Keep it up!
 

Kasuku Girl from Nairobi, Kenya (10/25/2005)
"Lots of fun, perfect hills and lovely weather" (about: 2005)

4-5 previous marathons | 1 Nairobi Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 3  FANS: 4


This is a simple race ... nothing fancy in terms of course support or food at the end, but a great course, some fun fans and perfect weather to get out and see the city.
 

Klaus Tegtmeier from Nairobi, Kenya (10/25/2005)
"It is on the way..." (about: 2005)

3 previous marathons | 3 Nairobi Marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 2


Congratulations! The race gets better every year. Although... I would prefer a real round course without any streets you go and come back on (all three: marathon, half and 10km). Better/more information about the distance still to run. The water supply was sufficient this year and last year. Compared to other marathons, the participation of the spectators is really poor but getting better from year to year.

Please try to provide information about positions after the event and disqualify runners who just come in on the last straight. But thanks for the organization! It was a great event. Keep it up!
 

O. v. from Colombo, Sri Lanka (10/24/2005)
"Memorable experience I won't forget" (about: 2005)

2 previous marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 3


Fantastic race. Over 12,000 participants. Great atmosphere between racers.
- I would have liked to have kilometer markers all along the course to keep a reference of distance and keep track of progress.
- Overall a great experience.
