Yet, this event is more than a race. It reflects our enduring commitment to community, inclusivity, and long-term impact. I extend my sincere appreciation to our volunteers, partners, and sponsors whose continued dedication has made this marathon not only possible, but truly powerful.
This year, as we proudly mark the 23rd edition of this iconic event under the theme "Now Is Your Moment," I am honoured to invite you to be part of a celebration that goes far beyond the race itself. This year's theme is a call to action — a reminder that the opportunity to rise, to challenge oneself, and to make meaningful impact is not in the future, but right now.
As we reflect on our journey, we remain proud of the impact delivered through initiatives such as the Women in Tech Incubator Program, supported by our Standard Chartered Foundation. This program has empowered over 64 women-led tech businesses with mentorship, seed funding, and the tools to scale sustainably — with many already advancing toward global competitiveness.
In the same spirit, we continue to support elite athletes through initiatives such as the Global Sports Camp in Eldoret, equipping them with essential financial literacy skills to thrive both on and off the track. These efforts reflect our belief that when individuals are empowered, entire communities move forward.
I warmly invite you to register and join us for this year's marathon. By participating, you are not only embracing a personal challenge, but also contributing to the Standard Chartered Foundation, which empowers young people to learn, earn, and grow.
Rally your friends, families, and colleagues and let us make this 23rd edition truly unforgettable.
Now is your moment.
See you at the starting line.
