Registration points

The Registration process is a complex logistical exercise of entering approximately 15,000 athletes into the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon. The athletes, and the entries, come from far and wide - from all over Kenya and from overseas. They also fall into different race categories ranging from elite marathon runners (both male and female) to Family Fun Runners.

Regardless of where the athletes come from or which race category they are entering we wish to make the registration process for them as user friendly as possible.  For ourselves, we also wish to make the process as manageable and as efficient as possible.
