Emily Chepkor’s casual Saturday jog with three women in 2022 has grown into We Run Nairobi, the city’s most vibrant running community. Chepkor initially sought to create a free, welcoming space for runners of all levels, a vision that has now drawn over a thousand participants. The club’s explosive growth, fueled by inclusion and post-run coffee, reflects Nairobi’s broader running boom. Chepkor’s personal journey from a novice to a marathoner inspired this venture, proving that a shared passion can forge powerful connections. As she navigates partnerships, logistics, and new ambitions, Chepkor remains the community’s biggest cheerleader, inspiring runners of all levels to chase their next challenge.
