About the Run / Our Purpose

The Kandara Education Marathon is more than a race—it is a community movement dedicated to transforming lives through education.

Founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed, the marathon brings together runners, sponsors, families, professionals, businesses, and well-wishers to support bright but financially challenged students in our community.

For six editions, the Kandara Education Marathon has united people around a shared purpose: creating opportunities for deserving learners while promoting a culture of giving back, community engagement, health, and social responsibility.

Through the support of our participants and partners, we seek to:

• Provide scholarships for gifted but financially disadvantaged students from Kandara Sub-County.
• Promote community awareness and active participation in supporting education.
• Connect students with educators, mentors, and professionals who can guide and inspire them.
• Create a platform where individuals and organizations can work together to make a greater impact in the lives of needy students.
• Strengthen the culture of giving back and encourage young people to become agents of positive change.
• Develop sustainable channels through which support for education can be mobilized and delivered.
• Promote health, fitness, and community wellness through charitable running events.
