Ndakaini is home to the Ndakaini Half Marathon held annually.

The Ndakaini Half Marathon event, which includes a 21km race, 10km race, and a 5km family fun run, is held every year in September around Ndakaini Dam, the source of over 70% of Nairobi’s water supply. Started 10 years ago, this event has steadily grown. It’s organizers use the event to sensitive the public on water conservation, with most of the proceeds raised going towards planting more trees in the catchment area around this vital resource, and maintenance of the dam.

For recreational runners, the hills, river crossings, and forests along the Ndakaini Half Marathon course make this race a uniquely enjoyable experience. Its beautifully green surroundings and views of the blue waters of the Dam make it so pleasantly different from any other run in the city, while the challenging hills are hard to resist taking on.
