Position

Laikipia University Marathon started in 2011 . Its aim

is to act as a marketing tool for an International High

Altitude Sports Training and Research Centre

University’s sports mission while promoting fitness,

healthy lifestyles and to create awareness on environ-

mental conservation within the water catchment areas

of Laikipia County. In the last 4 editions of the LU

Marathon, 3000 athletes have participated. We recent-

ly held an International Sports Conference whose

theme was “Sports for Sustainable Development in

Kenya and Beyond” which involved researchers,

sports managers in different organizations, coaches

and athletes.

lence.
