Description

 - Run Like a Kenyan is the third annual 5k and 10k Race hosted by Kenya Connect taking place on Saturday, October 29th, with the run beginning at 9:00 a.m.  Run Like a Kenyan was created to increase awareness of the work Kenya Connect is doing for the school children of rural the Wamunyu area in Kenya and to serve as our primary annual fundraiser.  Kenya Connect is a registered 501(c)(3) charity based in Elkridge, Maryland.   During the 5k race there will be a fun run for kids starting after the 5k/10k joint start.  This year we have obtained permission to have registration and end of race ceremonies inside the school athletic building near the start and finish if it is cold or rainy outside.  

Course Info

The 5k Race/Walk path follows the Sandy Spring Friends School 5k course, starting in athletic fields and passing through woods, all inside school grounds. The 10k follows the 5k course for the first lap and on the second lap turns off for an out and back through farm fields. The course rolls a little through the woods but does not have any substantial hills. Course maps are shown in the event website.
