Start Time/Location: start time is 8am prompt on the Middle Track (here). We recommend arriving at Gate A by 7:30am to park and reach the start
Forest Entry: forest entry is included in the entry fee. You will need to retain and present your race number for all five events
By car, enter via Gate A on Limuru Road. You can park at either KFEET (closer to start) or Amani Gardens (closer to finish). Pedestrians can also enter via Gate D on ICRAF Road
We advise you to allow additional time for gate access and walking to the start line
Bag Drop: if you need to drop a bag, this can be done at the finish line tent (next to the swamp area under Amani Gardens - here)
Routes: route and GPX files are available on the following links: 2.65km, 5km, 10km. Turns will be marked with reusable signs rather than chalk. In case you get lost, all routes finish on the trail next to the swamp below Amani Gardens
Route Support: water and fruits will be available at the 5km/10km point. If you would like to carry additional water, please remember that Karura does not allow single-use plastics into the forest
Race Numbers and Medals: race numbers will be available for collection from Run Beyond from midday on Monday 13th January. Please arrange to collect your number in advance of attending your first event to avoid any issues entering the forest and ensure that your time is recorded
Medals will be distributed at the final race in the season and available for collection from Run Beyond thereafter
Race Times: race times will be recorded at the finish using chip timing. Please retain and wear your race number for all five events to have your time recorded
Please note that timing mats will only be placed at the finish line, so your time will be based on the gun time, (so if you are late to the start, this will impact on your recorded time!)
Results: results for each event will be published on this page. Series results will be based on the average across the series, subject to a minimum of three (so it doesn't matter if you can't make all five events)
Replacement Numbers: in case you lose your race number, a replacement number can be requested from Run Beyond at a cost of Ksh 300
Changing Distances: the start list for the each season is locked down after the first event, and we will not be able to change distance during the season. However, if you have registered for the full-year, you can let us know if you want to switch distance for the second season
