Huawei Technologies Deputy CEO Sheng Kaifu said they are proud to support the marathon for the last 16 years that they have been in partnership with the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.
"The conservancy is home to some of the rarest wildlife and we know through our support and that of Safaricom, a difference has been made in preserving these iconic species for future generations as well as the surrounding communities," Kaifu underscored.
The registration for this year's race will officially start today with Sh20, 000 charged for participation in either 42km or 21km categories.
"This season, the race will purely be physical, we won't have any virtual races as we have had in the past two editions due to the Covid-19 pandemic," Ivy Wairimu, Tusk Trust Programme Manager clarified.
Race ambassador Eliud Kipchoge in a statement hailed the marathon saying: "To me, a running world is a happy world.
"We are all part of the human family, we must keep strong and stay fit for our wellbeing. By running together, we can also conserve our environment, empower our communities, take care of our wildlife and support those at Lewa who are working for the future for all of us."
