Yesterday’s GL5KM monthly run in Loresho saw our largest turnout of over 50 runners, but the highlight was much more personal.
Meet Daniel. By night, Daniel is a security guard in Loresho. By day, he is an athlete with a very impressive 2:19 marathon personal best. Since a chance conversation with one of our runners last year, he has religiously shown up and religiously shown us how to make a 15min 5km look effortless!
Every month, the GL5KM runners donate 500KSh that feeds into the Athletics Race Fund (ARF) which exists to bridge the gap between raw talent and race opportunities.
Last night Daniel shared his dream of one day competing in the Lewa Marathon, a hilly course perfectly suited to his strengths. While he had saved for the travel logistics, the entry fee remained out of reach, so he’d given up this year’s event.
Thanks to our runner’s contribute, we decided to use this month’s donations to sponsor Daniel’s entry into the Lewa Marathon 2026.
This is the heart of our GL5KM community, supporting one of our own as he pursues greatness. This is why we run.
