@PeniMbili,...21km.Ave run in tht category in all the stanchart Nbi marathons,and aim to cut down on my time last year of 1:35.But that route should be changed,...twende ile route ya 2003.

That is not a bad time at all...2004, 21km was running from town to Kianda Sch and back down James Gichuru.....state house road...CBD

Is that the 2003 route?

I'll be doing 21km...i hope i'll make it! I gauged myself with the Ndakaini 10km..na kama hiyo niliweza with the hilly terrain,the Stanchart shouldn't be half as bad. Any Wazua ladies for 21km?

I did 21 Kms in 2 hrs 10 mins last year, was hoping to do it under 2hrs this time round, unfortunately I wont be around during that weekend!!!!

All the best to those who will participate!!!!


Full marathon (42km) is run in about 2 hours 15 minutes; then you did a half marathon in 2 hr 10 minutes!!!!
I now know the size of your belt.

It is the elite athletes that do 42kms in 2 hrs. I dare you to even try and do the 21kms in this time.

There is a reason why those people are professionals.

@impunity wacha jokes, its kina tergat who run 2 hours full marathon or 1 hr half marathon. On the mombasa road circuit those guys overtake you like you are on a kiddie bicycle and they are in a porsche. The 10km starts a whole 30 min after the 21 km but the elite runners of that distance overtake you before you clear the first 8 km of the 21 km. I did 1 hr 50 min for the half marathon last year.

Hongera to all Wazuans who took part.

I survived the 42K. My first sub 4 hours at altitude. That route should be rethought. The last lap from Nyayo back to Cabanas is discouraging

Graduated to the 21K two seasons ago. Last year I did a scorching 2H 36M. But I hear that there is a very advanced plan to scrap the 21K - reason 'it diminishes the internationality of the event'

Oooh, so you think you will cruise like those cars on Thika Rd??
I will be doing my maiden marathon this year, which is the best for a beginner who takes at least 15 tuskers a week and the occasional muratina?
