Proper BOOST incoming! 💥

The Standard Chartered Bank Kenya Limited marathon is almost here, and your East African running friends have a little surprise for you.

Introducing the RAIFIKI 100M BOOST!

For everyone running the marathon AND everyone who missed out on a ticket. 😅🎟️

Here’s how it works:

🖐🏾 Spot our TAP TO BOOST sign.

⚡ Give it a BIG high-five.

🏃🏾 One of our RAIFIKI runners jumps in and runs 100 metres alongside you.

Think Mario Kart, but instead of a mushroom, you get a very enthusiastic running friend. 🍄😂

Whether you’re chasing a PB, struggling through the kilometres or just need someone to remind you that YOU’VE GOT THIS, we’re here.

See the tap? HIT IT. 🤝

Want to join us next Sunday? Let us know!

POV: The Nairobi marathon is coming up. 🏃🏾‍♂️

Your running shoes? Ready.
Your training? Done.
Your race ticket? Error 404. Not found. 💀

Those race slots disappeared faster than your sprint finish.

But who said you need a bib to be part of someone's race?

This year, forget chasing your own Strava stats. What if you could help someone else smash theirs? 👀

We've got a little something cooking for race day.

100 metres. One big high-five. A whole lot of energy.

Stay tuned. 💥

25 years of Kilimanjaro marathon, and entries open in just 10 days 👀

This will be our 6th time, so at this point… can we officially call Kili home? 😌 There’s something about Moshi, the energy, the runners and that mountain view that keeps pulling us back.

Your East African running friends knows the way.
Kili 2027, who’s coming with us?

What happens when you connect two of East Africa’s greatest running cultures? This is the story of how the came to life.

Everyone knows Iten. And for good reason.

We spent time there too, drawn by the champions, the altitude, the history and the feeling of being in a place where running is simply part of everyday life. It is special.

But the longer we spent in Kenya, the more we felt there was still so much more to experience beyond coming to train, ticking off a few famous routes and leaving again.

For us, the best way to really get to know a place is through the people who live there. Through the roads they use, the stories they tell, the places they take you and the small moments you would never find on your own.

Then we went to Kapchorwa.
And that place stayed with us.

The running culture felt just as strong, but different. The landscape, the people, the energy, the way we were welcomed. We left thinking about it long after we had gone.

At some point, the idea became very simple:
Why not connect these two places?

The Ugandan Home of Champions and the Kenyan Home of Champions. Not by flying between them. Not by driving straight through.

By running.
That is where the Relay of the Champions started.

A 240 km cross-border journey from Kapchorwa to Iten, built around running, local communities and everything that happens in between.

Not just a race.

For us, it is also about something bigger: connecting running in East Africa in a way that brings people, places and stories together.

That is why we are your running friends in East-Africa you didn't know you needed. We got you!

Typical runner mornings: waking up while the rest of the world is still very much asleep. Somehow, the runners are already up.

Hop into a matatu, half-awake but fully committed, and off we go to one of those perfect little running spots.

Step outside, take in that cool morning air, and start running.

And somewhere between the first few kilometres and the sun coming up, you remember why you agreed to wake up at this ridiculous hour in the first place.

Saturday mornings, the RAIFIKI RUNNERS LTD way.

Fresh air, good company (and yes, definitely knows how to bring that!), plenty of kilometres, and maybe a well-earned coffee afterwards. ☕️

Because there are worse ways to start the weekend than moving your body together with a big group of running friends.

Sunday miles, red dirt roads, and nowhere else we’d rather be. ❤️‍🔥🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️

This is how we do Sundays.

Welcome to Moiben Road. The European race simulation, just with a little less oxygen. 😉

In Iten, Kenya, this legendary stretch of tarmac runs between Iten and Eldoret for roughly 21–26 km, depending on where you start counting. It’s long, straight and mostly flat, perfect for tempo runs, intervals and race-pace practice.

The catch? You get to do it at around 2,100 metres above sea level. So yes, it feels like European race day… if European race day came with altitude, rolling Rift Valley scenery and lungs asking serious questions. 😅

Most Saturday mornings, vans filled with athletes roll in the same direction. One famous road. Many different teams. Countless goals, training plans and stories. You’ll find elite runners, international athletes and everyday runners all sharing the same tarmac and maybe the same struggle.

With good-quality road, kilometre markers, sunrise views and a whole community of runners moving together, Moiben Road is more than a route. It’s a running ritual and a very flat reminder that altitude never takes a day off. 👟

When do we see you on the Moiben road? 🌍

This weekend, the is back. ⛰️

Last year was our first time, and somewhere between discovering new running routes and following the future talents guiding us through the Ugandan paths, we definitely fell even more in love with running here! 🇺🇬

Good luck to everyone taking on Rwenzori this weekend! 💛

Did you know Uganda is home to one of Africa's highest altitude training tracks? 🇺🇬

Just outside Kapchorwa, the Teryet National High Altitude Training Centre sits at approximately 2,555 metres above sea level, making it an ideal environment for endurance athletes. The facility features a World Athletics-certified 400m track and a 3km jogging loop designed specifically for middle and long-distance training.

But what makes this place special isn't the track itself.
It's everything around it.

These are the same landscapes that have helped shape athletes such as Joshua Cheptegei, Jacob Kiplimo, Peruth Chemutai, and Stephen Kiprotich.

For us, Kapchorwa is more than a training destination.
It's a place where you can experience the culture, community, and environment that continue to produce some of the world's greatest runners.

A place every running enthusiast should experience at least once.

📍 Kapchorwa, Uganda
