More than 15,000 participants are expected to take part in the second edition of First Lady Lady’s Half Marathon in Nairobi on March 8.

This is an anchor event for the Beyond Zero Campaign. The move comes as First Lady Margaret Kenyatta, the event patron, and her team intensified training at Lornah Kiplagat Sports Academy Stadium in Iten ahead of the annual contest.
