When is the D-Day for buying the t-shirts?

I think it was today at Nakumat store.At Stanchart branches it closed on 19th October.

Lakini, why do you wait for last minute??


@rryyzz, Had a leg injury. Was not sure whether i would be ready for the marathon but all indications are am good to go. today i did 10kms and the injured leg feels just fine.

The online registration is still open though, until Thursday. I have just registered

Pole about your leg,don't push it too hard though.
Next time, just pay even when you're not sure about running, since you're supporting a worthy cause.

So are you running the 10km, 21km or full marathon?

That new 21kms course was definitely more difficult.....the last 7kms drained me, just over 2hrs.

2hrs 34 min. Did better than last year, confirming that wine gets better with age. Big up to the Gor Mahia fans who sang and danced the whole 21k.

Wawawa...This was either tougher or I have to understand where my energy went. The last 5kms were so tough. Did 2 hrs 2mins...Next year I must go back to under 2 years. I will consult hard on dos n donts n work on speed.
