The National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) has unveiled a nationwide road race campaign to raise Sh130.8 million to support climate resilience and water projects in Isiolo, Samburu, Laikipia and Meru counties.

The race, scheduled for August 8, 2026, in Samburu County, will be a flagship event designed to mobilise resources and public support for communities hardest hit by recurring drought.

The initiative is being implemented in partnership with Athletics Kenya, which will offer technical support to ensure the event meets professional standards.
