“We have been able to gain visibility through this and in turn provided support for sporting talent in an area that may be deemed less visible in view of the popularisation of other sports,” said CEO, Peter Mwangi.
“We believe that corporates have a big role to play in ensuring the youth have the chance to grow themselves through their talents and that is why we are involved in sports events like Ndakaini Half Marathon, The Bible Run and golf plus others that we are a part of.”
Other winners on the day included Vipingo, jockeyed by Richard Kibet, Lettfot, ridden by Kelvin Nganga (Nairobi Town Plate) Stuff Cookie, who won the 1,600m race for three-year olds, guided by Henry Muya. [Standard Sports]
